As with my other pickup "projects", I am sure that I am not the first one to be doing this. Any advice on how to use the rivets or otherwise replace the lens would be greatly appreciated.

JR the housings come out they have spring clips on the side of the housing you have to depress the clip there is 4 of them. Get someone to help you when you depress the clips have your buddy push out on the housing. They are hard to see the clips when they are installed use a bright light to see the clips from the back side. Be careful putting in the rivets you can crack the lens very easily. Good luck with the install..Vernski
PS if you have use the old housing clean them up the best you can and spray with chrome like paint.
