Take out the headlight assemblies. Now take a look inside where the blinker bulb goes. You will see the orange reflector in there. take a long pair of needlenose plyers and break that reflector into little pieces. Shake em out put assembly back in and you got yourself some cleared headlights!

is it legal to have cleared headlights? If not is there any other way to modify them so they are legal but still cool? Such as different colored blinker lights (like blue or something?)

This is the bake method. Instructions are for the Optima but it is the same concept.
