Don't know if it would be the same as the civic headlamps, but he probably just threw them in the ovenfor 250 degrees for like 5 minutes then pryed it apart and removed the orange piece then resiliconed it and put it back in the oven. Or just use a heat gun. But that's for the 6th gen civic headlamps. I don't know if it would be the same for the accords.

It's so easy...
330 degree for 3 min, put the lens in a pan,
dont let the metal tocuh the HL.
just take the cover out with a screw driver
IM me for more info.
the orange stripe is hold together by a screw.
You actually can paint the headlight black housing
and keep the damn orange stripe.
