Fresh out of the box: What I did when I got my "new" '03 986 home

Stage 1 - Get the 2003 or later headlights without the amber plastic on the outside. These headlights are available in halogen or HID/Litronic.
Stage 2 - The 'amberectomy' is physically removing, usually with a soldering iron and needle nose pliers, the amber plastic inside the 2003 and later clear headlights. This requires a change from clear turn signal bulbs to amber bulbs.
Stage 3 - Insead of amber bulbs, get the silver bulbs that blink amber. That way you will have no sign or amber unless the light is blinking.
I am loving the look of stage 3!

Thanks for the top! How annoying/difficult is stage 2?
