Thanks for your posting.

The amber is right at the bulb hole. You don't have to reach in very far. I started poking a few holes in it and it came loose. Then I cut it up with the iron and pulled the pieces out. I had 1 or 2 small melted chunks fall down but I was able to remove them by shaking them out. I also vacumed the hole just to be sure. Really not a difficult job.

Looks good Kyle. Apparently I made the job sound more challenging that it really is, or maybe you're just that much better than me We'll assume the former

i think there might be some confusion about this process. the original assembly on vehicles < 2003 can't have the "amber" removed as it's actually the plastic that is yellow:



you must start with the lights from a 2003, or the litronics, which is clear in the turn signal with the amber glued to the reflector:



if i am misunderstanding, PLEASE let me know.
