Yeah. You can do it with a screwdriver. Its not the easiest or best way though. You should really do it the first way. I had to cut the back part of that section off, then unscrew a screw, and it all came out. I made sure the cut was clean and epoxy'd it back together. It never came back apart and it didnt leak, but you could tell it had been cut. So yeah. Its possible, and not that hard, but the end result isnt as good.

i did my headlights with the screwdriver method.. haha.. the result was fine and was real easy... but the only thing that was a bitch was getting the clear lense to stay in place after taking out all the orange....

all i used was a screw driver and random tools to break the orange lense and then used a pair of needle nose pliers to rip away the orange plastic... but be careful.. the clear lense will fall.. i just used some superglue to hold it back in place... all in all, took me about an hour to do the first one, and half the time for the second.... if i had to do it again... i would try the oven method, just to see how hard that was.... good luck


^^what once was^^


^^what is now.. and permanently^^
