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.

Great

I was reading your posts and it didn't seem like too much of a deal until I saw the differnece in the look. It looks great, the extra 10 HP plus the 20 extra HP after a wash and wax job should make these babies really rock!

Be carefull. I know several people on this forum who have ruined their headlights trying to de-amber the insides. They melted them and ruined the headlights and had to spend more money to get another pair and they did not even think of trying a second time. If I were you, I WON'T DO IT. Not worth the risk.

Well I looked at the inside of my new headlights and decided that things were waaay too close together in there for my unsteady hands. I will just live with the amber inside for now. It is way too risky like you say 986spyder. Thanks. Isn't there an easier way to do this without a soldering iron?
