Yeah, how did you get them back together? Looks like another weekend project.

How easy was it to remove the assembly in the first place..

Do you mean the headlight itself from the car?
If so, it's not as easy as opening them, but not that difficult at all... just lots of steps:

1. Jack PT up - (lift much better).. (of coarse)
2. Remove tires
4. Remove Grill
5. Remove 2 screws located under lower grill that hold
the bumper to the front fascia
3. Remove wheel well covers to access the headlight screws
4. Remove headlight screws.
5. Pull or push the headlight out of housing. (you may need to
push down on bumper a little... that's why you loosen up the 2
screws in the lower grill section.

And can you still see an amber light when you turn? Wouldn’t want to attract the wrong kind of attention

Haven't put together the headlight nor tried any bulb with the reflector off..... yet. But will definitely let you know.

I am going to take pics for you guys showing the difference in using and not using the reflector with an amber colored bulb.
I'll try to take a day and night shot, but it may be a little difficult with the night shot being that I'm only at the shop during the day... I'll try though.

Haven't sealed them yet... but gonna use black silicone.

Looks easy as pie; can't be that complicated, just put some in the same areas and reattach + let em dry.

I agree... this isn't a project just anyone can do.

You people are killing me

You would think mods just put themselves on or something.
I cant imagine the look on your face as I cut the rear carpet out of my car or using a saw on the front grill

With all the mods you are doing it should look awesome when done. Sure will have a one of a kind (at least for a little while).
