You'd have to replace to whole headlight system don't you?
They're real expensive. I don't like the ambers either but for the price I have to pay I'd just leave them.

Europe and Asia has the headlights with clear corners. If you're in the States, you can order euro-spec headlights from Roverative on ebay or Bekkers Import (www.bekkers.com) but they're about $2K a set.
Or you can do what some people have done and that's either tinting the amber section black or baking the lights open and removing the amber reflectors and tinting/smoking that part. I believe that's what Hamann5 did to his lights.
The last option is to search eBay in Europe to find a slightly used set. You just have to make sure to get the correct assembly for your car. There are halogens, bi-xenons, and bi-xenons with adaptive feature.
I was able to find a set on eBay Germany and got it for $550 US including shipping. I'm waiting for it to be shipped here and I'm hoping it turns out okay.
