First off, I can't believe I found these pictures on the net, but anyway, here ya go:
1: Remove bumper, and headlights.
2: Use a Dremel or equivalent tool to cut out the box on the back of the headlight. If you look closely in the pic there's a slight change in height on the box, it's just beside my red line in the next set of pics, you're going to cut just above that line (closer to the plug not the lens).
In the 3rd pic, the blue dots represent the 2 screws to avoid cutting through (NOTE: you can cut through them but it just takes extra unecessary time), the light grey thing in the reflector, please note that one screw goes through an open end and the other goes through a closed end hole on the reflector. Once you've cut all the way around the box you will need to pull hard enough on the box to STRIP the plastic around the screws, once the screws are stripped the box will come right off. (NOTE: you will need to cut 2 lines in the black plastic along the length of the screws to push the screw out of it's housing, this will allow you to remove the screw and complete the next step) Next pull the refector out. Now just the orange thing is left inside the box, you can do what I did and cut an "X" in the middle of it and break it into little pieces and take all the pieces out.
4: With the orange thing out you can replace the reflector, if you cut along the red line you should be able to take one of the screws and screw it through the CLOSED end holes on the reflector, this will sit the reflector exactly where it's supposed to be.
5: Now place a heavy bead of hot glue along the cut edge on the HEADLIGHT, and put the back of the box back on the headlight. Then place a large amount of hot glue around the cut, I put glue all the way around and about a 1/4 in on each side of the cut.
So if the dotted line is the cut, and the dashed line is the edge of the glue, the glue spreads like so:
| . |
| . |
| . |
| . |
| . |

6: Done and done, put the light back on the car and replace the bumper. Hey if anyone lives in the Irvine (Orange County, SoCal) area we can hook up and I can help you out.
NOTE: The instructions aren't that great I know and I didn't cut EXACTLY along those red lines, so use a little common sense to guide you through. If you have a hot glue gun, any mistakes or large gaps in the plastic are EASILY filled with the hot glue.
Hope this helps.
