Clear headlight indicators?

Hello, i have a 2003 coupe... I am buying some overlays from bluebatmobile, and I had a quick question. In this picture the turn signals are yellow like mine:

but in this picturethey are clear:

Are the 06 clear or something? Or can I make mine clear as well? If so, how? THanks a bunch!

In '03 you have amber lenses with a white light behind it.

In '06 there are clear lenses with an amber light behind it. The 2nd pic is the same car from a different angle where you can not see the bulb.

I have PIAA mirrored ambers in my '06 lights that look real nice. I also have some chrome tipped ambers that look clear when looking thru the lense.

If you open up the housings I am sure you could cut the amber lenses out (w/ a dremel) and insert clear ones which could be made out of a sheet of the plastic that covers flourescent lights in retail stores... Probably could get those from Home Depot.

Yeah, you have to bake them in the oven on 200 for some time until they losen up and then you can get them apart.

I never tried it though.

if you clear out your amber lense, might as well learn how to do a retro since you're going to be opening the housings

i wish I knew how to do a retro lol

I think Sundeviljay can do your headlights and put clears in, pm him. He can paint the housing black too as long as the lights have to be oppened.
