Is it just a matter of warming them up in the oven. Popping them apart. Removing the orange parts then sticking back together. Simples?

Pretty much.. 10-15mins @ low temp.. about 100c.. prise apart, remove orange crapness, push back together then back in the oven same temp same amount of time. Then push together a bit more and refit screws..
Then breath out..

Sounds easy enough but are the lights not glued together, if you split apart do they reseal or are there some screws involved as well?

Take a bit of care when you pull them apart to make sure the seal doesn't melt too much and get stringy. It will be a real bitch to get off if the goo gets on the reflector part of the light.

I personally think this is about the best visual mod you can do to a blob or bug wrx for the cost involved. Looks great without them cheap nasty bits of orange plastic!

You know I did consider that but I'm just not that keen on the black on a blue scoob, black on a black scoob suits well but not sure about mine..
