Cool TSX-R clear lenses on AFS projectors

Based on some positive reviews which I read, I'm thinking to buy the clear lens to replace the stock fresnel lenses.

I found a detailed explanation on how to replace the lens in this webpage.
And if it's necessary to remove the whole projector assembly, this thread explains how to do that.

But what I'm missing is whether it's really necessary to remove the projector or not, and also how to remove the AFS projector from its housing.
Does anyone know if this has also been discussed before, and possibly point me in the right direction...?

Thanks in advance!

You will need to bake the headlights to separate the headlight housings and access the AFS lenses. There are plenty of tutorials on baking the headlights online. Hope this helps!

Urgh, I didn't realise that... Is it really necessary?
Since I don't have any condensation problems (yet!), I guess I'll rather postpone the clear lens swap till if and when I'll have to open the thing...

Unfortunately, it is the only way. The 2 screws for the projector lens retainer ring are only accessible from the front once the housing is separated.
