There is a walk through on the forum somewhere. Try the search function. But it involves putting your headlights in the oven, taking them apart removong the orange filter the resealing them. I have done it with a set of old headlights but i got the common headlight fog problem. So i changed them to the dark spec ones.

No idea on the mk2 side of things, but on a UK mk1 GS, the front indicators are not part of the headlamp, only on imported aristos.

Do you mean the front ones? If so, I de-tango'd my Mk1 front indicators and although awkward, it can be done without the need to put anything in the oven. Just use a screwdriver, side cutters and a pair of long nose pliers to break up the orange "cup" and pull it out of the bulb hole. I will be doing the rears at some point, just not got round to it yet so no idea if the lense needs taking off.
