I was able to remove the orange piece while in the car but if you want to take it out, this is the way I took it out of my friends maxima, first I removed all the 8mm bolts about 4 I think and then since it was cold the tar is real hard so I got a heat gun and started heating the tar area so that it would get soft. Once the tar is soft you can pull it out without a problem. Good luck

you have to break it and stuff so when I was done I had to clean the mess I made, I was too lazy to take the light out. I used pliers and a flat screw driver to break it.

Oh yeah be careful right behind the orange lens there is a white lens, try not to touch the white one.
