how to get rid of orange reflector in headlight?
is there a way to get rid of the orange reflector that is in the front turnsignal? do they sell a whole clear headlight assembly? or can i do it by myself?

Yes you can take out the orange relectors, but it would look ugly and very time consuming. If I was you I would check out Bekkers.com, and Ebay. I bought a set of Euro ML Bi-xenon projector headlights through ebay. The Euros have clear reflectors instead of orange. I paid about $750 shipped, and it came with bulbs, and ballasts. $25 for conversion harness from 2000ML to 2003 ML.

i have a boxster, and some of us go to the extent of burning the amber reflector out with a soldering iron and replacing the amber bulb with a phillips silvervision - www.powerbulbs.com. the bulb is silver in appearance but flashes amber.

what if there is a way to get into the assembly and somehow paint the reflector silver or something? That could be a cheap alternative to buying the euro bi-xenons.

yeah is that possible? to open the light up and just either take the reflector out or paint it? i know the bulb isnt a problem because theres no orange cap that covers the bulb, its just an orange bulb that you can change out.
