Amber Housing removal, 03-05 Coupe Headlight

Can someone link me to the DIY or can someone post a DIY for removing the amber housing for the 03-05 coupe headlights. I heard from someone that it requires putting it into the oven???

you can bake it to crack it open. then you'll have to dremel the orange lens out and replace it with a clear one.

Use the bosch mini h3 projectors, they almost fit perfectly (http://www.hidplanet.com/halogen.html). The home depot stuff looks like crap but I know you are extremely limited with options.

Here are the bosch projectors installed in my headlights:

I believe you just cut to fit. I think the best option would be to hunt down some damaged 06 lights and use the clear lense. I am not too big on the idea of projector lenses on the turn signal.
