You read my mind, I have been wondering if I could do this, but only to the long part of the eyebrow in the front, I like the amber on the side, and OC Police would love to pair this mod with my Berlin front license plate to waste 45 minutes of my time.
Do those 5 exposed LED also determine the color of the long translucent part of the front/top of the headlight as well? It would be nice to have a hybrid of this look while still maintaining an ounce of legality.
EDIT: Nevermind, looking closer at your pictures I realize I can do what I am after by just replacing one LED on each side. THANKS for being brave enough to try this. Great work!!

Looks awesome, thanks for being a pioneer on this mod. I was curious to know, if I am reading your right up correctly you bought another set of (used) headlights correct? If this is so, have you experimented with taking the light housing unit apart for removal of the orange reflector as well, if not maybe you should.
Many years ago in my mitsu eclipse I did exactly that, the lighting unit was held together with plastic clips and poly urethane, so once the lighting cover was separated from the housing unit with some screwdrivers and heat, you could easily make changes, then glue/snap the unit back together. Id be curious to know if our lighting units are designed in a similar way??
Anyway great mod, thanks for sharing
