2 quick questions for sedan owners or whoever

I know its been discussed that clearing sedan lights are the same as coupes, but specifically, what are the BIG differences. I know about the different glue used and it can be taken off with a blow dryer(right?), but what about the inside of the lens? is the orange peice different or harder to remove? also, the turn signal bulb behind the orange, what size is that? And finally, for all people who have cleared their lenses, what do you use to seal them up again really good so they dont leak??
Random question, does a SRI make a noticeable sound when its installed?

1) the sedans glue is harder to pull apart.
2) u can just pop the whole headlamp into the oven
3) the orange peice can be removed when u seperate the silver from the clear plastic *important dont get any of the glue on to the silver or u'll start crying*
4) Front Turn Signals: 7443
5) adding the sri does have a noticable sound diff

edit:
sorry u buy silicon glue to seal it back up. make sure u use alot so it doesnt leak.

the process is the same; the difference is the glue... the sedan's is stickier and MUCH messier. don't bother with a hair dryer... stick 'em in the oven at 180-200 degrees F for 5 minutes, jam a screwdriver between the black and clear halves to pry 'em apart a bit... and just pull them apart with as much force as it takes.

Yeah, the oven is the easiest way to go.....200F is good.....I put them in at 350F and the lights didn't melt if it makes you feel safer about doing it......
