I did a set of corner lenses for a silvia.

1. -in the oven at 150 for 10-13 minutes, just enough to soften the butyl(?)
2. -then I used a tiny flathead screw driver to pry open the tabs, and pull the front apart from the rear section.
3. -then I switched the broken rear/front sections.
4. -back in the oven for 10 minutes to “reseal” the butyl.

but you could probably putting holes into the rear panel for LED’s and not have to take it apart
