The actual process of opening up your headlights and removing the amber lens is not hard at all, you just have to be careful. However removing the headlights from the car is a real PITA....

I reccomend 225 for disassembly and 250 for reassembly.

300 is too darn hot, and 225 is gonan hurt your fingers, but better to pull slowly and safely though harder, than take a chance on warping something.

Keep your amber inserts in case you get a ticket from some Pri ck with a badge who thinks it's his mission in life to stop the crime of not having amber lenses instead of burglaries.
Also please don't be a ricer and run around with clear bulbs or blue or no difraction lens.. Just get a cheap set of $2 ambers and be done. You really don't need $25 silver bulbs, you can't even notice the Amber ones in there during the day.

Or, use silvered 1157 bulbs and be both in-compliance and cool-looking.

Removing your headlights is not a PITA, it just sucks that you have to take your bumper off....

which is a HUGE PITA, there is a catch 22 unless im mistaken. There is a few screws UNDER the headlight, holding the bumper on, and at the same time, there is a BOLT in the same spot, holding the leadlight on. I gave up and put my car backtogether after about 2 hours of going WTF

you can either rip the cover's holes into U's there by pulling on it, or you can go under the car the first time and remove the big bolts that hold the entire bumper support rails in, then the whole thing will slide out as an assembly. You can continue to do it that way or clip the bumper cover tabs into a U shape so you only need to remove the skin itself next time.

You can get teh skin off in under 3 minutes anywhere as opposed to getting under the car. makes little things like getting to the IC a LOT easier
