use heat gun, heat up glue while prying at glue with knife or screwdriver to get headlight open. it takes alot of time but can be done. pull clear cover off headlight, then take off orange strip. voila you got yourself clear headlights. next seal everything back up really good or you'll be sorry. it will leak if you don't. good luck

FYI: That wont work with a 5th Gen Civic. I tried this weekend. The orange is part of the whole piece. Need to buy new ones.

his civic is a 98. this is what i did (i have a 97). i took a hair dryer, heated up the silicon, slowly pulled apart the headlight, section by section (while still heating it). then i unscrewed the amber lens cover over the bulb and removed that. then i also removed the orange reflector piece. went to autozone, bought some silicon, sealed the headlight back up. put them back in. look at my sig to see what it looks like:
