I removed mine in about 5 minutes without removing the light assembly.

Thank you for posting how you did it without removing the light assembly.
I really didn't want to do that, but was gearing up for it when I saw how you did it.
It took me 20 minutes because one lens flipped over when it popped out and then couldn't fit through the bottom of the assembly. I spent about 10 minutes trying to flip it over and was resigned to removing the assembly to get it out when it finally flipped and fell through the bottom.
There was no damage to the amber lens covers or the assembly.
Little Wing looks sooo much better now!

It shouldn't make a difference. I have xenon and replaced the "egg yolks
" on mine with a little jiggle to get the old lens out.

Did anyone ever come up with a source for clear lenses? I took the egg yolks out but would rather replace them with a clear lens.

That looks like a complete set of headlights; I was hoping to find just the clear lenses.
