The way we used to remove the orange reflector in the Subi STi headlamps was to bake them at a low temp- 250 degrees and then pry the lens off, wipe off the silicone that was now all melted and then when we were done place a bead on the edge and reseal. The newer GTRs with LEDs may not like the oven and could cause issues.

You can remove the large housing cover at the bottom front of the headlight and also the small marker light at the top of the light. Point a hair dryer into the lower opening and the air will circulate in and out the upper bulb opening. It worked well on my 2012. Takes about 15 min.
