Default possible to remove front orange reflector?

i really hate the way the orange reflector in front stands out so much on my car ( its thunder gray ) and after looking at the light the reflector itself just kinda looks like its sitting there. i wonder if you can take it out? (even cut it out whatever) anyone know if you can open the light like that?

if anyone does it, or knows if u can or cant please let me know!

You can do this. I have seen it out before I personally didnt like it but here is a quick run down. Get a heat gun, pull out headlight and start to heat up the sealer around the headlight pull it apart and take the yellow out. Now you can heat up the sticky crap and stick it back together but I would recomend cleaning all the sticky crap off (give your self a full saturday for this whole project) and then reseal it with new sealent it will save you alot of fustration and you wont get the "morning dew" inside the headlight.

if you replace the orange bulb with a clear one it looks a little better than stock.

i just hate the way when you look at car from side the orange in front catches your eye so much... i have a bmw too and they had ugly orange reflector in front bumper, i replaced it with color matched ones, its really amazing how big of a difference it made.
