Any solution to the fugly orange in the headlights?

I am picking up a 2015 SL63 this week and the one thing that has always bothered me about the headlights on the 231 is the orange reflector found in the headlights. I don't want to buy Euro headlights, but has anyone successfully figured out a relatively simple solution to getting rid of the orange or hiding it?

Let me know please...

the only ones I ve seen is 65 headlites and I dont know anything else you can do except take the lite apart and find a clear led tube and replace the yellow one.

Well since opening up the headlight to remove the orange is just not an option at this point for me. I had my local tint shop do a little smoked headlight film over the orange. From the side it looks fantastic, from dead on it is not great as you can see the orange on an angle when you look at the car from the front. But it helps and was a simple and cheap solution.
