max, again do the search thing. Way to many threads and instructions on how to do it.

Good luck and welcome home.

There are 2 ways in doing this

1. doing a search about clearing the housing (takes a couple of hours)

2. buying the Euro spec. headlights (pm me if you are interested)

Good luck on your venture

Yea, thanks Tim! The new headlight housings were installed during Fall Colors by Nick Alban (actual Honda/Acura Tech).

I've seen the difference between manually clearing out your corners and buying replacement headlights. The Euro replacements actually have a clear lens that goes over the corner light. It makes the car look better than just taking the amber lens out.

I can't believe you all are arguing about which looks better... one is "the right way" and one is "the wrong way". The diffuser lense is there for a purpose: for the bulb to reflect light to the flat surface and make a larger illuminated area. Removing the plastic diffuser (especially the highly reflective US orange version) leaves plain bulbs. How many automakers leave a plain bulb offering a single point of light?

Basically, the people who disassemble their US Spec housings to merely remove the orange lense are too cheap to purchase an intact housing as the manufacturer intended.

Wrong. At least in my case, anyway. If you GAVE me euro housings, I would not trade them for my "poor-man's" conversion. I like how they look. They are also street legal and you can tell when the signal is blinking from any location that you ordinarily would be able to.
