Clear Corner Mod - How do I get the reflector out now?
Okay, I'm stumped...it appears the clear plastic lens is connected to the frame with some type of silicone.....do I separate the two or do I somehow get the orange piece out by magic?

Double check with TerminA8r, but I think the orange reflector ----->
gets snipped into small pieces....small enough to fit out of the hole for the bulb once it is loosened from the housing with low profile snips/cutters. Essentially it gets reflector needs to be destroyed.
Double check with those who have been there first.

Any chance you could post a few pics of the back side of your headlight? Specifically the areas where the headlight and self leveling harness plugs in.
thanks

Can't believe you guys haven't done a detailed write up with pictures yet!

Paging Jim 03-S8 and MPollan...
They just did this about a month ago. Found this thread, but have to run out so I can't check them all; it's gotta be in here somewhere...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/159939.phtml">Surgery Procedure</a></li></ul>

Got it
I would suggest that you almost get a set of three plastic tire irons for a bicycle....I used a trim removal tool and then a small screw driver to keep the parts apart while separating the whole thing.
I will write up a procedure for audipages......it looks good, but I wish I could of got the inside cleaner (the shiny part) before I put it back together. It looked clean at the time.
I wouldn't try this without a heat gun. Looks very cool. Got the clear bulbs also.

There is only one harness on the 01's
I don't know if it was you, but somebody said that they had two sets of wires for an 02....I looked them up, and the 01 and 02/03 are different as I recall.
