Shaun,

It is done like two porcupines making love. Very carefully! (8->

Truly, once removed from the dash you will find that the chrome bezel
surround is crimped around the plastic outer lip. This crimped edge must
be carefully bent back with a small flat bladed screwdriver (like the
jewelers type) until the bezel can be removed.

At this point the lens comes out, gets reversed to the un faded
backside, which is bright red, and re-assembled, Carefully crimp the
holding bezel back around the housing lip with a small pliers.
