im sure this has been asked a few times, this is a mod that i will one day do to mine also. but it involves removing your headlights and removing any electrical parts, such as bulbs, ballast, etc. and "baking" your healights in an oven for about 15 minutes and gently prying the clear plastic from the headlamp housing apart. and then removing the orange piece. correct me if im wrong guys if i missed an important step :o)

Was thinking about doing this but I really don't want to give the police another reason to pull me over.
