i have same question guys...about my mk2
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.

No, didn't take too long, it was awkward and just needed plenty of persistance and patience
