Headlights Clear Corners

Hey guys I'm new here and I drive a 2005 RL and I'm wondering if anyone has tried clearing out their corner lights themselves? I did this a few years ago on a 96 Civic but these headlights are quite expensive compared to the ones I worked with a few years ago...if you accidently break them. Does anyone recommend any particular company? Thanks Juan

IIRC, the only people that have cleared them are those that bought and replaced USDM with JDM units, quite pricey...

Yeah I konw that....but the amber is not like the TL amber. If you remove it, It will look like a big gap missing. Look at our headlights carefully and you will see what I am talking about

I do not think he is looking to remove the amber prisms in the headlight assembly.

I think he wants to clear the amber color from the prisms to emulate the look of the LEGEND style headlamps (without the $$$ cost of JDM LEGEND assemblies).

Oh..... look at how well the styling lines, body panels and headlight components flow, integrate and harmonize...

I digress....
