Search for "amberectomy". It involves taking a hot soldering iron and melting the lens and removing it pieces.

I scuffed all my lights up and then mixed up some clear coat and a little black paint (about 10-15% black in the clear) and then sprayed them all. It didnt get rid of the pumpkins, but it did make them a lot less noticable. In my opinion, it looked really good with the car being black. Only issue I have is that the lights are a little dimmer with the tint, and after several months of bugs and rocks or ? hitting them, they got chipped up and need to be redone. Overall though it makes them look a lot better. I've looked at other pics where people have painted everything black except the main light and the fog light. I am considering this when I redo them, but I don't want it to look cheap...

I also added another coat or 2 to the rear lights to really make them black. Probably too black but for me it made the car 100X better than the way the stock lights looked.

The 987 BiZenon headlights are far and away the best lights I've ever had.
They have HID for low and high beams, and don't "tilt up" the low beam for high.
On high beams, it's like daylight for 1/4 mile in front of the car.
I do believe, but don't know for sure, that both HID bulbs are on for brights.
I'm not standing in front of it to see, my clothes may catch fire!

BTW, my new Fit DD is the first car I've had, in about ten years, without HIDs.
I can't see crap on low beams.
