Clear headlight turn signals
 
1 Attachment(s)
Just did it myself with some headlights I bought to replace what's on my car. This was an amazingly quick and easy mod for how hard you might assume it would be (I know removal from the vehicle can be difficult). I definitely recommend doing it if anybody has been on the fence. Here is what I did for future searches.

I used a ball peen hammer, a pick, a flat head, long needle nose pliers and shears.

1. Use the pick and hammer to make a hole in the orange lens.

2. Once you have put a hole in the lens with the pick use the hammer and flathead to break the lens in half (or 3 pieces or whatever. Both of mine split in two.).

3. Grab a piece of the lens with the needle nose pliers and use your shears, scissors, dykes, etc, to cut the large piece into smaller bits.

4. Pull out the smaller bits as you cut them up with aforementioned pliers.

5. Revel in your awesomeness.

Why not just take the lens off and do it that way? Paint the housing while your at it!

Didn't want to paint the housing. It only takes about 10 minutes per side this method and I didn't have to worry about glue.

The orange lens is actually inside the turn housing. So once you take that out there is nothing left but a bulb and the lens you see on the outside of the headlight.
