I have a 2001.5 with one piece headlights. I took them off and instead of having 2 tabs I had three, no big deal. I carefully ate away the three tabs and use the adjustment screw to pull the lens as far back from the front of the houseing as I could. The orange reflector still wont budge. any tips or ideas on why it is not loose yet

 

When i did my CC mod, i was impatient and scratched the chrome housing because i had the same problem. .
They are very very small scratches but what i ended up doing was using a flathead through one of the bulb holes to pry it out BAD IDEA!

 

i used a flat to try and pry it out too, but it just broke a small piece off the reflector. so at this point I am not sure what to do. luckily I have the headlights tinted just over the reflectors so oyou cant see it

any more advice

 

you have to break the reflector to get it out.. you probably found the b6 guide

the top and bottom tabs are the only ones you have to cut off, it would have slid out with the third intact
if it still wont move you have to look very closely, and make sure the orange tab is ground down past the hole on the housing, you need a small pair of needle nose pliars, and wiggle them around till you can drag the reflector out a little to break it

I want to do this mod but i think i am going to break stuff so well see

 

Thanks Lazer Viking. I was looking for that write up and couldn't find it.
Back to work.

 

I just did mine last weekend, and sort of had that problem also. I ended up just using a flat head screw driver to really push the reflector out. it just seeemed to be sort of stuck, but with a little wiggle and all it came out. just wiggle it around A TON
