Removing Orange Turn Signal From Headlamp

Hey I was wondering if anyone knew if you can remove the orange corner light from the headlamp and make it look like the JDM/UK type. I have seen them remove and they just show the bulb but I want the peice or make it look like the JDM/UK corner light. I figured someone might know. If I need the JDM clear peice would anyone know how to get some? Thanks!

its hard to remove it...its better to save money and buy the real JDM instead of trying to open it.

Well, the headlight housing on the USDM lights (AKA the clear plastic front 'light') is different than the JDM/UK one, it has a different design altogether.

Also the back housing (AKA the black back part of the light) doesnt have a spot for the UK amber plastic piece to go. You have to fabricate/modify the headlights for it to look spot on.

So it's do able, but it takes patience and time to get it right!

lol i got my headlights done by another member on here that can do anything. Evodave has been doing lights for years. He does good work he is hard to get in contact with at times yes. I have seen some of his old work and his latest works as i talk to him almost everyday. the worst complaint i have heard about him is time. but again modifiying lights does take some time. alot 2 weeks and you will be fine. here are pics of mine when my amber was removed and put back in after painting
