removing yellow markers on headlights/yellow film on taillights

I have a 2001 Tl, and I noticed on the 2002 and 2003 TL's the taillights dont have the yellow. i want that done to my car, but i dont want to buy entire new taillights. is there anyway or tricks i can do to remove the yellow film from the inside? also, i want to remove the yellow markers on the headlights which ive seen done, but i read you need to remove the entire front bumber, which i dont want to do. any suggestions?

man up and remove the front bumper to get the headlights off...

if not.. smash your lens and get it out..

for the tail lights.. you have to buy new ones.

Just take off the bumper and stop being lazy. It's not even hard, it's stupid easy.

And for the rest of your questions, what he said ^.

No. The taillights are molded that way and you have to buy new ones to remove the yellow.

Clearing/blacking out headlights isn't as bad as you may think. I did it for the first time on my friend's headlights and they came out so sick. If you are blacking them out then put 5-7 coats on and wait 15 minutes in between coats and it will look ridiculous. He has gotten so many compliments from them and more people want me to do it on their cars now.

Can we replace the headlight DIY with this?
