Re: orange headlight reflector strip removal (tArebelpinoy)
are u talking about the corner lights? Just remove them and buy some clear ones for $20!
if your talking about something else give us a bit more detail!

I think he's talking about the piece at the bottom of the 98-02 headlights. No idea how to do it, maybe heat them up and take it out? Kind of like taking the amber out of 94-97 tails.

Re: 98-02
yea im talking about the 98-02 headlight. i was thinking of just replacing the orange bulbs and putting orange accent reflectors on the side... you could call it laziness but i just dont have the time to pull my bumper off and do the replacement. or the money for clear headlights

The only way to do it would be to bake the headlights and separate the lense from the headlight and then unclip it.
Ghetto methods include:
1) Cutting the lense from the orange down to access it and then optional gluing it back togther
2) Slam the light against the ground so it shatters apart

honestly its not worth it to try and pull that orange reflector out.. plus personally I think it looks kinda clean with eyelids!!! I turned some stock 5th gen headlights into black housing ones and it was a bitch just to pry them apart...

ive never had a pair of eyelids, honestly im not a fan of them but i think that its one of two things ... either its the quality sucks or its just because ppl on ebay buy bulks at wholesale prices
