Removing Orange Bulb from RX-7store Upgraded turn signals!

The few of you out there with these bumper lights, did you remove the orange bulb?
It's held on with a screw from the inside of the light, is there a way to pull the lense off without damaging anything?
I am tempted just to try and break the bulb off of the tab holding it in there and then cut it up in pieces to remove it....
Any ideas?

i think he may be replacing it with a clear bulb that lights up orange..who knows. The only way to get the front lens off is to *CAREFULLY* heat it with a heatgun.

Jesus, man, I was just giving the thread a bump since we have a common common. No need to get bitchy about it

The FNGs are just touchy because they know it's open season on people who ask stupid questions...

BTW, what's a "common common"?

It sounds like they are similar to the factory lenses. You can break it and cut the pieces out (I've hear people doing that with the factory one) or heat up the glue and take the lense apart. I did that with mine (factory). Just make sure you reseal it good to prevent moisture.
