Clear Headlights (help in So Cal)

Does anyone in So Cal, OC area or near by, know how to clear out the front headlights. I don't have the time and patience to do it myself, but was wondering if there was any shop i can take it to, and how much it was going to cost.

A good shop is Generation 1 Motorsports on Katella west of D-Land. I think mine was $125 including all of the polarg bulbs. I got mine done about 5 months ago and not a leak yet. I highly recommend them.

cali law requires that there be an amber REFLECTOR to mark the front corners (red in the back)...so clear bulbs are OK if you still have the amber reflector. now if you clear your lights and think an amber bulb is gonna make it legal, think again.

msot have done it at generation one with pretty good results, and it's the only place i know so far.

I also got a ticket for having a white turn signal on the back. I asked the officer about the front and he told me if it's not too bluish color or green, it'll be OK. But I am sure every officers are different.

There's an orange reflector on the corner of the front bumper. no light behind it. They use orange bulbs (as bigman pointed out to me) behind the clear lenses, but the reflector meets the requirement.

was gonna say the above...when you buy the oem/optional clears, i heard they give you amber reflectors so you can stick them on the car to make it legal.
