hmm okay, first you need to remove the 3 bolts per headlight, 2 is visible, 1 is hidden behind the bumper. Unclip all the clips for the grill and remove that. take of the two clips that holds onto the top of your bumper for wiggle room. Then you wiggle the headlight out, after the light is out, remove all the bulbs by twisting it counter clock wise, you'll need a screw drive philip head for the main light. (Tip: DO NOT touch the bulbs itself with your hands, if you could find some rubber gloves ) after the bulbs are out the headlight should be completely off the car, now preheat the oven to 250 degrees. while the oven is heating up, take all the small screws off the headlights about 8 or so each headlight? (Tip: There's a hidden screw behind some black foamy tape ripe it off and you'll see it. ) now after removing all the screws, put the headlight into the heated oven for 15 mins (Tip: Have a tray to put the headlights on. (Tip: have a pair of oven mitts ready to handle the headlights) now take them out after 15 mins, use a flat head and wedge it between the crack in the headlight and after you get it seperated, you can pull it open. Now take out the front of the headlight, unscrew the housing, take a flat head and CAREFULLY unclip the amber pieces, Remeber that the housing is veeeerrrryyyy delicate. so becareful when you pop out the amber pieces. now that the amber pieces are out, screw the housing back, squeeze the headlights together as good as you can, then put it back in the oven for another 5 mins, after 5 mins, take em out and push em together as much as yo ucan and put all the screws back in and voila you got cleared headlights .

I've seen matched housing... it didn't look so good.

Looks better without painting or koji style.
