Be very very very very careful when drilling the amber lens tabs or you will have visible holes at the corners of your lamps.

Hell, be careful drilling through the backing to reach the amber tabs inside - push too hard to get in through the outer housing and you may go right through and scar the lens (saw a very close call once when this was being done).

It's not that hard and if you take your time you should be ok. The first time I did it, when I felt things weren't going right I just put the lights down and came back a little later. The first one is the hardest one and the second one will be easier but remember not to rush. The end result will be well worth the time you took to do it right.

Here is a very informative link from AW that I used to do my lights. Just scroll down to "clear corners for one piece headlamps" I liked this write up because it included very detailed instructions and pictures that showed you exactly what to do.

Good luck with your project.
