replacing orange lens

This weekend, I will try to replace my orange lens with the clear lens for Home Depot. Any tips or things to look out for when doing this.


Thanks!!

Make sure you remove the 3 small screws that help hold the lens to the housing before you try to open them up.

If you use the stock lens as a template, be sure to cut the Malibu lens a little bigger to be safe. You can always take a little more off if necessary. Also, the malibu lens is deceptively thin - A dremel will eat through it in no time so don't apply too much pressure and take your time.
