Default clear parking lights?

alright, well i hate having orange parking lights...and being so smart, i took out the headlights, and had some clear bulbs to replace it...what the hell haha, there is like a orange "casing" on the inside of the housing, so i bought the bulbs for nothing...how can i get this orange out, so then my parking lights will be clear, or can't i? thanks.

it is illegal to have clear corner lights. you can get clear lenses but you have to buy the amber bulbs then

I still suggest you use amber bulbs. Maybe in Holland they dont pull you over, but here, near the D, they pull you over for the dumbest ****.

I would suggest taking off the clear lense right from the box and re-sealing it. Some peeps have run in to problems with condensation...

if you want to take out the part you'll most likely have to bake the lights then remove the piece... people do run into a lot of problems with resealing them... If done right it adds a cool look to the car. Just make sure when putting the light back together you press them together hard before the glue hardens
