remove your headlights, use a heat gun to heat up the plastic(try not to heat the lense up too much cause you can cause damage to it), pull apart then take out the amber lense but make sure you put the screws back so that the chrome piece is still there, put a bead of silicone where the lense will go, put the lense back on, then reinstall your headlights. quick and easy.

well if u cant beat it join it ... i recently got my hands on the euro tails with the red corners ... so in turn i put apc red 1157's behind the amber lens and sure enough ... its red ... the orange cannot defeat that color and shines right through

yeah it was easy. pulled of the front bumper, removed the beam on the front, unbolted the bottom bolts, and all the others, then went to work on the headlights. i guess it helped that i used to work on cars alot.
