Does anyone know how to do this exactly? I see that the orange reflector looks like its glued in but i dont want to start and take off the lense and then break it be S.O.L when there could possibly be a way to do it that i havent thought of or what not.

Just go easy, I did send a screw driver thru the whole lense once.

With the housing removed from the car, use a flat bladed screw driver. Insert into a bulb hole, you can easily pry from a corner of the yellow part. Possibly working your way around the yellow. Once its seperated, I just used some long plyers, and snapped it apart and shook out the peices.

I've heard people talk about heating the housing up in an oven and simply pulling the lense apart. Is this possible or will I just end up with crispy corners?

I would be extremely wary of this...the oven would either cause the plastic to melt or turn darker. A hair dryer is enough heat, I once accidently deformed the hole through which the bulb goes in.

No need to heat anything I successfully cleared 3 sets this way not scratches, breaks or marks. Just be extra careful and spend an extra 5 minutes. Forcing too much or being impatient will cost you a new unit

I cleared my first set by prying the orange out and it worked well, with a bit of orange residue that you could barely notice. I was thinking about painting some areas inside the lense black, to give a smoked look without having to spray something on the outside of the lense.

Yeah dont bother with heating any lenses. take a flathead and pry at the center glue spot and carefully work it till the lense pops off.

donno about plastic, but I replaced a glass cover on my aftermarket projectors on my BMW like this. I believe, (but don't remember) it was 250 degrees for 15 min. worked like a charm.

remember to tape the end of the flathead. so it does not scratch your lens.
