clear corners
 
Ive got a 2002 ES and I have noticed that there are plastic orange inserts over thae blinker in the front. I have thought about opening the headlight and taking them out, but... It might look kind of shitty. Has anyone else done this or do you have any suggestions on what I should do?

I'm not sure but if you decide to try it let me know how it went. Thanks

European models have this:

But that isnt the blinker. Its just a side light.

I have heard that if you take off the lights a heat gun (not too close) will take them right off. I haven't seen this but am going to try when it get a little warmer here to work on my car

Which light are we all talking about here....Like SedanMan said, the orange blinker light is on the inside and the orange light out the outside is just a side light. Which orange light are we talking about ?

deckedoutmp5 says to throw the headlights in the oven for a while @ low temp. Sounds a lot safer than a heatgun to me. I'm gonna clear out my corners after this cold snap ends.

I meant the Orange Driving Lights on the outside corners

i was just wondering in order to remove the corner amber lense, do u have to remove the front bumper in order to get the whole light itself out? or can u just unscrew the light, remove it and use the heating method(s) to open the light and then take off the amber lense??.....help!!!.......

I think the US gets the orange corners because of the laws, it's ilegal to remove them I think.

Yes, you can take the reflector out to remove it...although its for a civic, there is a DIY on www.2k1civic.com
I dit it on my GF's civic and its pretty easy, just time consuming!

This is almost a P5 but the fogs are square instead of round
