I wouldnt cut none of the plastic, it seams like a bad idea.

i started with a dremel cutting bit, and quickly found that was not the best tool... i put a 7/16" bit in my dremel and used that as my cutting tool...
after those cuts, and some careful prying and pulling, the amber comes out the top

when i pulled mine off the first time, i tried pulling hard and i tried screwdriver to pry. neither did much good until i said "f- it" and pulled about as hard as i could on both sides (one at a time). gradually it gave, and both of the clips were basically ruined. theyre good for now, but if i ever have to take it off again theyre fried.
i wasnt able to find anyone who could replace them, either, so beware.
once you get it off i advise taking the clips off completely for putting it back on unless you dont plan on taking it back off.
