Default Headlight housing removal

I saw some Insights without the ugly orange reflector in the headlights which tells me that some people have removed them by taking apart the headlight housing. I have done this on several other cars and would like to do it to my Insight. If anyone has done this, are there any special tricks to it, and tips? Thanks,

I have only seen JDM insights without them. I know that you can stick them in the oven to melt the adhesive, remove the lens, then just pop the reflector off.
