Custom headlight?

Hello guys,

Does anyone here know how to change the yellow side marker in my head lights?? I hate how this looks on my car, I wanted to change it to a clear marker. They sell the whole unit for about $500 a pair which is pretty pricey! Can anyone help or give me some tips

Thank!

+1 jnc does outstanding work, it will be signifigantly cheaper then buying depos which are sub-par quality to OEM.

Hey, highly recommend working with Rich over at HIDIllusionz. I have however heard good things about JnC and he is a vendor on our site. I've worked with Rich and he was great. Here are some pictures from my retired 8th civic

Looks complicated but it's fairly easy. Just takes a while.

elegant type S, BIG props to you, that looks great so far. I always respect the work when it's unique and clean.

btw where did you get that strip from? one of my led suppliers has a strip that looks similar to that. it's like a silicone tubing, and a switchback module inside
