How do you clear out the corner lights on the headlights? It's just a small orange piece. I noticed the new 09s don't have that problem anymore.

The 2008 and Up do not have amber corners. They are clear.

The 2004-2007 Euro Specs have silver reflectors and the 2004-2007 US Spec has an amber corner. Only way for you to clear it out is buy a Euro Sticker from AKAlius (Phi) or buy Euro headlights or take apart your headlight and take out the amber and replace it with a silver reflector (A lot harder than you think).

Why did you open 2 threads for the same topic? You must be new.

Thanks for the greetings...yeah, I am new. No one responded to my post, then I found out that there was a mod section (I'm a newb remember), so I figured no one was responding because I posted in the wrong section.

I guess I was just impatient....Thanks for the response guys.

So what does this Euro Sticker look like? Any one have any pics? Or are you guys just messing with the newb and your going to show me a sticker of a happy face like my 1st grade teacher use to give me.

Check the for sale thread or the euro stickers. I have them on my car. Most of us pre LCI guys have them.

First off
The Euro Stickers are no joke, a very large percentage including myself have the euro sticker on over the orange reflectors.
