    Is there anyone have removed the yellow reflector of your headlights? Did you simply painted that part or replace to other material reflector? How and where can I find a store to do that? Thank you

    You can either send them in to a company like oss tuning or oneeighty and get them to remove it, or buy OEM euro spec headlights. I wouldn't diy it

    if you have a FL, its a lot easier to remove the amber reflector vs pre fl. with FL, you may be able to DIY if your comfortable enough. process is the same as the FL 4 headlights. as for pre fl, its almost indestructible.

    Buy ecodes. I bought ecodes and then sold my old, cracked stockers on ebay and was only out $300 after all was done. Well worth it IMO.

    And actually, I think Steve meant for pre FL, removing the reflector will almost certainly destroy the headlight. Mine cracked pretty easily while swapping the bulb out, watch out for the tip of the corner of the front fender.

    isn't that what I said? lol

    but yes, if you have the funds, id def go for ecodes. not to mention resale value is pretty high on them. u lose very little in the end, and rock it for many years.
