Can someone give me directions to removing the orange piece in the headlight

First step remove the light from the car. Once that is done you are going to take a screwdriver and put it in the hole where your turn signal light goes. Gently hit the orange piece with the screwdriver until it breaks. You can even take a hair dryer and warm it up so that it is easier to knock off.

Once that is done you are going to have to break the orange piece into very small pieces and then use a pair of plyers to take the pieces ot. An easy trick to removing the pieces is to fill it up with water and then drain the water out, the pieces will fall out with the water.

This is a progect that you need to have patience with. You do not want to break your light. Take a day where you are not busy and have the time to do it carefully.

Good luck!

okay, now i have a question... whats the easiest way to take that whole headlight thing off?

use a heat gun or hair dryer and slowly heat up the sealing around the headlight housing. slowly pry it apart as you heat it up. take your time as you don't want to break it. you may want to get some sealing from the store to put it back together with.

Why would you want to do that? You would risk breaking your headlight assembly. Do as pare_john said and crack it through the turn signal hole. It took me 15 min. Just be careful not to scratch the lens.

I believe that this should be moved to the newbie forum

Why would you want to do that? Have you ever seen black headlight housings on an all black accent with no crappy orange corner marker???? They are pretty rare. that's my mid-week.weekend project. Need time for those bad boys to dry. Pictures will be up when I'm done.
