You can thank me later...

They are FUSED and DO NOT PUT THEM IN AN OVEN!

10 minutes at 250 degrees and they the plastic lens itself started to melt and deform. So yeah...

DON'T DO IT MAN

Now I'm out a set of amber sidemarkers

My wheels are too wide to fit the sidemarkers in, so I was separating the lens to glue just that on to my bumper. With the back grey plastic attached, it doesn't fit anymore.
