Default Seperating Corners lights and replacing outter lens?

ok i have a set of M@d "JDM" style amber corners but the tab is broken off where the corners screws fast to the headlight so it doesnt stay in place very well.

i have a set of stock ones, but i dont really wanna put those back on cause i like the all amber ones. i was wondering if its possible to seperate the the lens off the corners and silicone the amber lens onto the stock body?

i figure i will have to heat it up to loosen up the glue and what not, but was wondering if its even possible or if anybody has tried it before?

shitty, thats not what i wanna hear, for some gay reason ebay prices on the "JDM" 2/3 door corners have multiplied 1000 times since they came out. and yet the 4 door ambers are still only 2.99

if I were you I would do your JDM corners first so if you break it you can atleast replace it with OEM.. if you don't break the JDM but you do break the OEM you could atleast attach the old one back onto the JDM corner
