Some mod pics......
Sorry about the dirty pictures. I took most of them after the COI drive.

LI-S4 dremeled the opening for me. He did a great job on it. I fitted it so that it is slightly behind the filler panel.
<b>Clear Corners w/Silver Visions (oven method):</b>
I just put them in the oven pre-heated to 170 for 3 minutes. They weren't even that hot when I took them out. I was able to pick them up with my hands. Then pulled them open, cuting the glue and pushing it away from the inside of the housing. The hardest part was getting the amber piece out, just be very carful and you will be fine.

Not quite done yet. I am having the mirrors painted as well as a couple of other parts.
I will post pics once everything has been completed. Will you send me some more details on the amber lens removal. I am really intersted in doing that. Thanks

There isn't much more to it then what I wrote in the post.....
I just recommend having a friend with you for support and to be the other set of hands to either spread the housings or cut the glue.
I don't know of a perfect way to get the amber out. One side came out with no drama, the other was a bitch. It seems to be held in by 3 or maybe 4 tabs. It doesn't click in or anything I think it's just wedged in. I tried knocking it out from the center like in the video that's been posted. But if I had to do it again I would tap it at the tab spots to losen it.
I wanted to take pics and/or video, but when that glue is splitting there isn't time for anything.
