headlights? i want to do it to clean up the front end but dont want to have at it without knowing what im getting into. thanks

 

i havnt done it but read many threads about it first stick a screwdriver in the bulb hole to pop the amber lens off but it will still be inside the housing so youll need some long needle nose's and various screwdrivers to break the amber lens up into small enough pices to pull out the hole

thats it but you might end up scratching the housing a bit

 

is it just glued in place? im just worried if its gonna leave a glueish residue where it used to be or something?...and thanks for the info

 

it just snaps in and out of place. after you take it out are you just going to leave the bulb showing. you could use the easy bake method and paint the lens some other color.

 

yeah im just gonna put stealth bulbs in the side...

 

actually im still torn between cc modding mine or going with some harleys

 

the harleys still have the amber on the side, but i think it will look better than with no reflector

 

I have a set of HD lights in my '05 FX4 that I have removed the amber lenses from and replaced the marker lights with 'stealth' bulbs. It looks way cool.... To get the amber lenses out you need to pop them out with a screw driver and then go into the lamp housing with pliers, cutters, what ever and break the amber lense into small pieces than can fall out of the housing thru the lamp hole. Its pretty easy, but be patient as it takes a while to get the lense broken.

 

pics of your lights?

 

Haven't had time/enery to figure out how to post photos here.... :-(

 

Theres a picture of stealth bulbs in my profile .

 

thank you...i know what stealth bulbs are...i have a pair actually...i meant a pic of his HD lights w/cc mod

 

mine don't have the amber reflectors in them, they just have amber bulbs. Interesting!

I see you have a gallery up now... how about some pics of the HD headlights with the amber removed!?

Check out this thread - headlights with clear reflectors instead of amber might look better than trying to break up the amber in your current headlights.
