take ur rear tailights apart, and just take it out. U can take them apart by putting them in the oven for a little while or use a heat gun to melt the seal and pry them apart. Then u can melt them back together or just use so silicone.

i used a plyers to twist it apart took like an hour per taillight , but i think the torch gun might be alot easier just have to watch out not to melt the plastic too much

heat gun is the best way.. lol first time i did my friends Z tail lights.. to get the orange out and swap with white.. supra nice now.. only on in town to have it like that hahaha.. but we used like 2 or 3 blow dryers and faked them up lol.. but heat gun would be the best way cuz i seen pix of the oven use and the plastic behind it melted alittle.. lol but good luck.. i jsut used a peice of red bag and wrapped my bulb up and it shows orange but when i signal it shows up red.. haha fak i just gave alway my little secret.. damn cuz i was holdin that in for so long ... lol but u guys are by accord buddies so good luck...

or u can just color ur bulb with a permanent sharpie marker. I used an orange one for my clear bumpers and u could never tell the difference works great

Leave the outer lense on. I removed my orange lense, by simply going in through where the bulb is inserted with a soldering (sp?) iron. I melted it in half down the middle first, and proceeded to break it into smaller and smaller pieces until all of it could be removed with tweezers or would just fall out. Just be carefull not to melt the edges where the bulb is inserted. Red bulbs look great after the orange lense is removed, for the turn signal... Good luck, however you end up doing it!
