You need to bake the headlights open, remove the amber reflector and fab up your own clear piece. The acrylic (i think) covers for fluorescent lights are what most people use.

yeah, you gotta go to home depot to get a clear plastic sheet to make a clear corner out of, then bake open your headlight, swap out the orange piece and then reseal it together.

there should be some DIY threads about how to do this on here with pictures, try searching, or the tech section.

Here's a link to a great write up on removing and baking the headlights.

Nope. You have to bake 'em.

That's what I did first, but I later went back and cracked them bad boys open. Fun!
