Removing amber from headlights on a 99

Is it possible to remove the amber from the headlights from a 99?

I've tried spraying it with window tint and gave up. Save up for clear or tiptronic headlamps if you want to rid yourself of the old looking amber.

Would those be the ones that turn on and off "automatically"

It's late, I'm sure you meant Litronic

Ha! Now that it's morning I see what I wrote so late last night. So much for my new year's resolution to proof every post before clicking the "submit reply" button

Oh, and some of the contributors here would probably remember my liking amber for a long time too... but I came to discover that the source of that love for the color was just a lack of cash. The second I had 1500.00 burning a hole in the Porsche fund pocket, it was spent on LITRONICS (got it right this time) and side markers and tail lamps.

i randall you seem to spend a lot of money on aftermarket and upgrade for a 97 box, would'nt it be wiser to save for a while and buy a good second hand 2000 with the bits you like?
just a thought
