Default Corner Lights!!!

So I was taking some pics of my GS350 and thought about the orange corner lights on the GS350. Is there a Clear Corner set or has someone blacked them out that has a pic.

Not sure if I should leave it orange or if I can buy aftermarket headlights to get rid of the orange sidemarker!!!

Think the only way now is to bake, open, remove, and reseal.

Its going to get heated. This was discussed a few times already. But yeah like mysteryan said, DIY. I for one wouldn't buy aftermarket headlights to replace or get rid of the amber piece, not to mention the aftermarket HID projector won't be as good unless it is retrofitted. And to open a headlight on a brand new car (well for me anyways) would be kind of stupid.

Just live with it or smoke out the headlight... thats kind of whack as well.

It is going to be expensive if you screw up!!!

Each headlight cost around $1200~$1300 a piece!!!

IMO, I would just leave it alone!!!

That looks pretty good.

Or I was gonna suggest to do an eyelid type thing but to cover the reflector?
