Removing Depo Headlights

My '04 Vette had Depo headlights when I bought it I and want to replace them with OEM. Does anyone have instructions on how to remove them?
Thanks,
Ray

I don't have instructions but maybe you can find someone wanting to make the swap!

There's been interest in making a swap but I've got to get them out first.

Not that hard to do, get the front end up high enough so you can get underneith and remove the plastic enclosers on each side. Then remove the three nuts holding each lamp housing in, (note there might be a forth screw on the front bracket). While under there check out your turn signal sockets .. they tend to get burned out from the DLR bulbs. You might go ahead and replace them if they are brittle ( any auto store will have replacements you can splice in.)

Key is getting the front end up on solid ramps (I use Race Ramps)
