after you clear your headlights i suggest you guys to buy two of these (unless if you want to keep OEM ones..) at http://autolumination.com/3157_3156.htm

if you are getting them, get #3157 ones

this will make you have chrome bulbs w/ amber, clear, or super white lights (if you choose one of them)

06blacksi also bought these at http://autolumination.com/3157_3156.htm
here is the thread.. DIY Bumper and Headlight Removal
also check this one too clear head lights <--- this is how it looks like

If you get the chrome blubs w/amber is this street legal?

btw, will this void the warranty?

Great DIY. Here are some before and afters. Sorry about the smudges but I have been handling them alot.


I painted the black inside silver I think that it looks pretty good. Thanks for the good write up.
I had to take the second one apart twice and I found that 350 deg for about 4 minutes made it really easy. I will post some finished on the car pics today hopefully.

Why not paint in red. That might look hot.

My thoughts exactly. I think your color code is on the drivers door.

Will this clearing of the headlights void any warranty?

Its super easy, when your done getting all the orange out make sure you clean all of the inside with a MF towel. So that you dont leave any moisture or oils in there. Then put a little goop back in the groove and squeeze them together. After they are fairly stuck together pop them in the oven for like 2 minutes so that they seal good and voila.
