Redman, those clear bulbs that burn orange, sold on Ebay are for clear lamp housings. All they do is make the lens look all white or clear instead of orange.

The photo you posted above is an old headlamp with orange plastic across the bottom, and a missing ORANGE corner piece. A clear one will look stupid on there, I assure you.

To get rid of the amber on your headlamps, you'll have to swap out the entire assembly for clear ones... halogens ($650 used) or litronics ($1300 new) swap. I did the litronics and love them.

Hope this helps.
