yes... lots of people have done this... i think it's a pretty delicate process....there are two ways to do it... in either case, you will have to open up your headlight housing... you can :
1. put them in the oven for a few minutes at a certain temperature....be sure not to "overcook" them... as the housing may melt and u'd be screwed....
2. use a heatgun to slowly begin to pry open the housings little by little (this way is a lot messier and takes much longer, but u dont run the risk of melting any unwanted parts)

after u get that open... jus pop off the orange and replace it with any plastic piece u want... some hav eordered custom plastic pieces to fit.. and others have made their own....it's really up to u what u think will look better......

then just heat up the silicon sealant again and put the housing back together... making sure that u won't have any leaks....
