I heard if you stick a screw driver in there you can crack the orange part and then just try to take it all out.

I don't mind the orange in there. It's the only orange left since I got different front turn bulbs. So the head-on view is clean, I don't mind the little orange on the side.

Duma, Im sorry I must of missed it, The Photo listed is a chop. I had my diffuser out and it looked like pure crap so They are back in. Ive contacted Clear Corners about three times all three times they said they could not just sell the diffuser( Witch I think is stupid on their part because Ive yet to see anyone with their $1,300 headlight set ) I think i posted this info once before somewhere. Im still on the look for a company to get us the clear diffuser don't worry!

Hey you ever think of maybe just cutting a piece of florecent light defuser to shape, you know the kind they use in drop ceilings... there is probably no way anyone would ever know it was made of that and it would be dirt cheap.

Just an Idea...

I'd try it but there is NO WAY my headlight assembly is going anywhere near an Oven!!!
