Yeah, that's kind of why I bought the amber lights to dremel them off as they're only £120 for the pair, as opposed to £500+.

If I get it wrong on an amber light, it's £60 wasted. If I get it wrong on a facelift, it's £250. It's too much of a risk.

I could practice on the amber one I've got now and get it open, then do it to my facelift ones, but it still may not work. I'll give it some thought and I may open the amber one just to see what's involved, but don't forget I'm in the UK - we don't have ovens that are large enough so I'll need to use a heat gun. It can be done with one and it has been done before - I remember reading up on someone doing it just fine with a heat gun, but it's yet more risk doing it with one of those.

Who the f**k knows.
