You would need to chuck them into the oven (or use some other method) to melt the silicone seal around the foglight.
Then you'd need to remove the orange plastic that covers the inidicator bulb and replace the bulb with an orange one.

For those who have done this...
Best temperature to set the oven to?
AND
Roughly how long do the lights need to be in the oven?

i used the lowest temp that my oven went to, which was around 70 degrees(i'd go lower if you can). Had them in there just long enough so they were cool enough to pick up, but if you held them for a few seconds they'd start to burn you. Just put them in and keep checking them and trying to pull them apart, if you can't then put them back in and keep trying. do it slowly. i used 2 butter knives to pull the peices apart. Although this did damage the plastic housing a bit, but you can't see it when they're on the car. hope that helps.

Yes that looks
What do you think that would look like on a Yellow FTO? I already have a set of headlights split and sprayed silver that I was going to fit into the wifes car but I may just fit them to mine and do this mod
Very nice car BTW
have you fitted mesh/reflectors or the likes to the hole in the DC skirts?

No it looks
I've been toying with the idea of getting some off these skirts fitted and doing the same for a while now just not got round to it
