Default Removing the "orange" from my front lights

I've seen people that don't have any orange around their signals on the front of their cars, it's just clear. I've also seen that you can change out the amber trim rings for trim rings of different color.

Can anyone give me recommendations to where I can get these pieces, and, if necessary, which are the highest quality?

Thanks!

Is it for your 07 Si? Or do you have another car?

Couldn't this be done with a heat gun? What kind of place would I call to take care of this and fog installation for me?

I would clear ( or smoke ) my headlights ( spare set)
you would pay a fee AND shipping from me to you.

Install the lights i ship you...

and once on ship YOUR lights back to me ( you would pay )

so you'd have Zero downtime

I'm interested, but I still don't really feel like taking off my bumper and doing this stuff myself. Call me a pansy, but I'm just not that comfortable taking apart the car I just paid 22k for when I have absolutely no confidence in my ability to do so correctly and without breaking anything.

If I had someone who had done this before helping me in person in case I screwed up, and had the right tools, maybe I'd be more comfortable with it

Honestly, though...are there some sort of shops that will do this thing for me? It seems like it shouldn't cost more than $50-100 and I wouldn't have to do a thing...

Thanks for all your input so far!!!
