search for it. I'm pretty sure someone did a small DIY on it when he cleared his headlights. It involved taking them off, baking them to melt the adhesive, taking out the orange plastic piece, and re-baking it together.

The major risk that you carry with doing tihs is that it doesn't seal all the way and water leaks into the headlight, and fogs it all up.

Isn't that just a reflection? The car looks pretty stock except the wheels and headlights.
