When the weather gets nicer, I'll pull off the panel, take some pictures and do a write up on how to do it. Keep in mind that there is a 99% chance you will need to buy a new center piece. Its almost impossible to remove the red plastic from its backing without cracking it. Read my first post in this thread.

I know some of the honda guys put their head lights in the oven (like low heat) to soften the glue on them so you can just pull them apart. I don't know if anybody has tried it with our tails.

if you want the clear stuff, you have to make your own out of clear lense material. the 240s orange/yellow lense is colored plastic, not just clear with a coating on it. you could pull them out, measure them, and then make some copies out of clear. or like they send, just paint them with clear red, but that would make an orangish red color.
