Calvin's 1997 has melted lenses from high watt bulbs. 2 months ago I met the local lady that bought Calvins car and she wanted to replace the melted amber headlights with good amber headlights. But when I bumped into the lady last week at the Parts Heaven swap meet I think she said she had already found some amber lights from a Boxster owner in Redwood City.

search or check into the soldering iron mod. basically melt the amber piece into small enough pieces to get out. then you need a silver or led bulb to blink amber that doesn't look amber.

i think its called amberdectomy. i'm not a scientist though.
