Unfortunately the only way to do it is by replacing the entire headlight assembly:

If you have xenon, it's almost $2000...

Short of replacing the entire headlight assembly (very expensive), you can replace the turn signal bulbs with silver coated bulbs that blink amber, which reduce the yellow to a degree, but not entirely--here's some before & after pix:

Yeah, he's already got those bulbs, but wants to get rid of the orange reflector. Too bad you have to replace the headlights to do it.
