Thermal osmosis. j/k. Heat'em up so you can separate the clear plastic from the black part and replace the yellow insert with a clear one.

A heat gun is also handy, just in case the glue is still holding in some spots.
And be very carefull the corners of reflectors chip easily

noooooooo, they heat up so you can seperate the tailights to take out the amber/red part. You HAVE to heat them up for you will break them.

They dont magically take away the amber part in the oven

Yeah, but I made mine with those two in mind and filled in gaps I felt were in the two of those. Different people like different directions, so maybe he won't have a problem, but I need to find that thread anyway, because I thought I made an HTML version, but I can't find it.
