Careful with that proceedure. My driver side reflector was glued in with NASA ultra-freak-zoid super glue or something and I had to spread the light WAY open to finally break the damn thing free. Resulting in two small cracks in my headlight lens

The pass side came right out, but the driver side, hell you can still see the smudges of white where the guy who put it together dumpedthe glueon there like mayo on a Jack-In-The-Box bun. Its a toss up, you might have 2 easy ones like my pass side, or you might have glue from hell to have to fight with. Either waythe hairline cracks are very minor and the reflectors being out of the lights overshadows them 100x. Cant evensee the cracksunless you are trying to make out with my headlight. BTW, having no amber reflectors up front is illegal. Im not saying you WILL get pulled over for it and cited or anything, thats just what the law says. I saidF-it and ripepd emout and patched the front platearea while I was at it.

Me too man. Unless you have another pair sitting around the house, I wouldn't even risk it.

...and maybe I suck, but I don't think the reflector looks so bad with the black housing headlights.

Yeah, if you are not comfortable doing this buy an extra set. I actually have 3 sets now.
