Mod without clearing your headlight... What was it?

I remember seeing someone who has a reflective sticker or cap covering their yellow signal reflector (in headlight)... Does anyone recall what exactly it was? What was it made out of?

i think it was just a vinyl sticker...but i could b wrong...but let me tell u...clearing it is really easy...definitly worth doing if u have a white tl...just $81 for the clear reflectors...n a lil bit of ur time...u can finish 1 lite in like 1-2hrs...thats without the drying time...u always want to leave it to dry over nite...

I dont know if it's me you're talking about, but I had that before...

It was just a piece of "chrome/mirror" tint paper I cut to cover the reflector. All I had to do is cut it the same shape but just a little bigger and then stick it on.

I did a complete 2003 front-end conversion, and cleared the 2003 headlights
