Not quite sure but you would want to start off takeing off the bumper, taking off the headlights, use a heat gun to pry the lense off of the houseing, then I think just remove the strip? :dunno:

There four bolts(two on each end of the bumper) and 8 of those plastic things(two on top six on bottom) to remove the bumper. Then remove the headlights, put them in the oven at like 250 degrees for about 6 minutes. then take a flat head screwdriver and pry them apart(start from the top of the turn signal, it's usually the easiest).

LOTS ... and i mean LOTS of silicone. just drizzle it all the way around the housing and press the lens to it. then, quickly take a rag and wrap it around the housing. finally, take duct tape and tape as hard as you can around the rag to create a really tight fit.
