I've found very few threads about how to do it and I was curious of the best way.

I'm referring to the corner headlight turn signal that is held in with the 1 Phillip's head screw at the top. I have the orange capsule broken off inside but I can't seem to find any way to break it up further to remove it.

I've tried needle nose pliers, etc. Anyone got a better or "best" way of doing this?

you just have to hold it over and let gravity feed you the amber lens close enough for you to break it up. needle nose works or try a hot soldering iron, of course being careful not to melt the actual housing itself.

I can get it on top of the bulb hole easily, it's just so big I can't get any needle nose to grasp it to a point that I could break it. I may try a soldering iron.

Okay, I managed to get them out but there is still a little piece under the screw that holds the amber cover on. Any ideas on removing it?

someone made this, but yea that light can be annoying. it feels like you might break it but you (probably) won't. just takes adequate force, leverage, and wiggling

The best method we use can be found at the middle part of below but all is written in Japanese.

Related photos are at 18th and 19th from the top left. Clicking the photo at the page shows you a bigger photo. To find those photos easily, I just show you at below adding English explanations.
All you need is to remove the screw at the top and pull forward by your hand as is shown in the photos.

Those plastic tabs break without a lot of manhandling. Handle with kid gloves.

Thanks alot guys but I meant the actually orange inside of those lights, I removed the lights and amber successfully but the small screw INSIDE of the lens is still holding a small piece of orange lens.

Did you ever figure out how to get the amber pieces out completely? I need to replace my turn signal and my other side has no amber so I'm trying to remove it from the new one.

Can you post a close up of this screw?
