here's pics
installed a hyper white 9005 bulb in the reverse light too
*update* FYI, please dont put a high wattage bulb in the reverse light. It worked for about a week, then my fuse popped and my dash lights no workie.

I did this today in moms oven. I put mine on a cookie sheet and baked at 200 but then raised it to 215. The first one went pretty rough. I chipped a small piece off the edge and also ended up with a few cracks. For the second I raised the temp to 215 and left it in for 20 min. I was able to get the lens off in one shot with only minor cracks.I bought these made in china tools from harbor freight to help but mostly used a flat head screwdriver. I used the pry tool as a wedge to put a little pressure as I worked it with the screwdriver. Im pretty happy over all. For a $6 dollar mod I really cant complain, just hope they dont leak. Here are the results.

Just finished with mine and it went great! Baked them at 195 degrees for 10 minutes. The first one took a little longer with one tiny crack at the bottom, but the second took like 2 seconds to take apart with no cracks. Neither are chipped. 
Patience is key!

Can anyone describe how the amber piece is holding inside the light? Because when I have my MK3 Jetta, although the tail lights where smoked (Wolfsberg and K2 versions) there was an amber piece inside as well.

But to take it out I took the headlight out, droped in a screw driver trought the buld hole, gave it a moderated hit with a hammer and the AMBER piece broke off inside the tail light. Then it was the fun part going in with a pair of long nose breaking it into small enought pieces for them to come out trought the buld hole.
is this even possible on this DIY ?
