Might be worth waiting for the JDM headlights to be available, at least until some company makes a clear inner reflector, so you can swap that instead of the amber one we have stock.

Sorry for the bump
So does this car have the JDM headlights (sorry for the noob question) or is it specially outfitted for the autoshow? Because if it is JDM, I may wait for them to come out, otherwise I would like to know if anybody has cleared the amber in their headlights.
EDIT: I guess it doesn't come stock, but both the Type-S sedan and tourer version at the show had cleared headlights...

i know how to clear out headlights. i did it on my 01 prelude. i baked each headlight for 5-7 minutes at 350 degrees. took out the headlight and pried it open with a flat head screwdriver. take your time with this because you can crack the lenses and the housing. the rubber sealant is really tough. it would also be more helpful if you used a heat gun to keep the sealant loose. if it becomes tough again, then just rebake it in the oven and continue prying.
when you've separated the lenses from the housing, do what you want. i would probably put some Audi style LED strips along with the clear reflector. maybe some angle eyes?
when you need to seal it back up, buy some rubber sealant from acura or any hardware store. close up the lenses and the housing and rebake it in the oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees. take it out and press firmly to make sure its sealed up.
that's it.

I cleared out my headlights on my 2003 Maxima and it is not a fun process. Like defconskylude said, you have to bake the headlights in the oven and pry apart, reseal, etc.
It's a process that's not for the faint of heart. You can easily break plastics, the ballasts, etc. I won't do it on my TSX because I lease, but if they come out w/ clear headlights I may consider swapping then part out if I end up trading in at lease term.
