Hey Guys,
I am not really a huge fan of that orange sidemarker that is in the Headlights is there anyway to get that cleared? I heard I shouldn't remove it because it might fog up my headlights if it gets cold outside or rains. Do they make a cleared one that can replace the orange or am I unfortunately stuck with this?
thanks
Adam

you can either take it apart and replace the specific part, but I wouldn't b/c what you said is true.. .Once you break that seal it could get moisture and fog, or look steamed inside....

If you can replace the whole thing with a specific part cleared I would go that route. There are probably after market housings out there...

Also, if you just wanted to get that specific orange piece changed out, there are some places qualified to re seal......

Always sceptical.....

I found out that they make European headlights for the BMW that has the sides cleard but the cost is over $4000 so if Lexus did the same thing it would probably cost too much. I guess the safest bet is just to leave it as it is. I appreciate the help!
