Does that mean the amber reflector will come off the chrome headlight area? Those aren't euro lights I'm guessing and I want to remove the amber on mine.

Yes, I was the first to do this mod, now a couple other have done it too... it is removable but you will still get glue residue when you pry it off... heat up the headlight backings and and pop the sucker out, but make sure u dont strach the "chrome" on the inside, the people who did it after me used chome tape in that section so it looks flawless. the mod was well worth it!

Excellent, I had a feeling. The ML is new to me, but I have made headlights in the past, so this would be pretty easy I think. Any tips/tricks for removing the headlight lenses? Does it involve heating the lights in an oven and prying them off? I hate doing that.

I opted not to use an oven... Instead i borrowed an industrial strength heat gun, and heated it up just enough to pry open with a flat head screwdriver. Also when prying off the reflector, you might have to break it up in sections, so wedge a business card under the reflector, and wedge the flathead ontop of it, so you dont scratch the chrome under the reflector. I had a lot of glue residue that was amber, so I painted mine chrome with chrome spray paint using a small paint brush, others opted to buy chrome tape and cut out the sections so it looks seamless. Either way, people won't notice unless they go 2" up to the headlamp housing. Becareful though, its a risky mod, if you mess up, your headlights go out the door.
