Default Clear GMC headlights

Does anyone know if they are ever going to make some aftermarket diamond clear headlights for 99-04 GMC trucks I mean all they have is the denali ones but what about the all clear Sierra healights? Sort of like these but for GMC?

Is really difficult to get out the orange reflector? I'm afraid I'll damage mine, but haven't even taken them out to try.

just a hint if you do it yourself, x-acto's come in real handy. when you think you've broken through the silicon, keep going at it because that stuff is in there good. don't worry, havn't heard any stories of people breakin' their lights.

when i did mine i used two screwdrivers and pried them apart. i heard that you can put them in the oven and heat them up and then the silicon turns to mush then you pull them apart. dont know if this is true or not but thats just what i heard.

I heard that also, would make sense to melt the silicone.
Hmmm, I wonder what would happen if you put a hairdryer next to some fake *****?
