Yea I did mine about 6 months ago and they look so much better. So far I haven't had any problems with water build up in the lense, just make sure you seal the holes up real goood.

There are a few how-tos floating around.
You can eyeball the three holes by locating the three tabs, then drill a 1/4" or 3/8" inch hole. Break the tabs using a small screw driver and remove very carefully through bulb socket after you break the reflector into small pieces using a pair of small needle nose wire cutters.
Not the easiest but you cant hurt your car unless you drill two far or you scratch inside of lens with wire cutters,
just seal with black silicone.
I have done two cars. Mine was a PITA (learning curve), 2nd one took half hr.

yea, i had someone do it for me, he did it on his svt. he just didnt tell me about the water gettin in it. he drilled 2 holes in the black part in the back of the headlight, then he broke the orange piece wit a screwdriver. then wit pliers he cracked the piece in to smaller pieces and they fall through the hole for the bulb. its really easy. as soon as i get pics ill post them. hey guys go on www.prideintheride.com we are a car club in new jersey. ill have pics up soon there too. melissa

I really don't want to mess with them. Plus I am going for the sleeper OEM look.
