Cleaning front turning-lights?

[Veetec]

How can I clean (want to get rid of the orange) the front turning-lights (the ones under the headlights) of my Lude? What exactly do I have to do and is it easy to do? Thanx in advance.

Is it the same with the front turns??
I don´t want to order them from NOPI cause I´m in germany and the shipping would be too expensive for me.

sorry man, i didn't realize it was only on the rear lights. not too sure if it will work. i do have an extra pair i can send you. i won't charge nothing at all for them man. i don't know how much it would cost to ship to germany from the us. pretty much i'll give em to you if you are willing to pay for shipping that is....

For free? That´s cool, bro. Just to make sure, we are talking about the turning-lights which are located under the headlights next to the place where the JDM fogs would be fixed at?! I´ll try to find out the price for shipping them here and then I´ll let you know. Okay? Thank you very much!

Oh, wait! I just saw that you´ve got a 4th gen Lude and I have got a 5th gen Lude! Or do you have them for the 5th gen?

No problem, bro! There is a german saying which says `The good intention is what counts!´. So thanx a lot that you wanted to give them to me for free. I really appreciate that.

Common! I´m sure somebody has already done that! Maybe anybody has got a link or anything else.....!?

Cool!
I´m not sure but I had a look on them and I think that it´s possible that you can clear them in the same way like the back lights. It looks like there is just something like an orange glass-plate (??) in front of the bulbs so that they appear orange. But I´m not sure and I dunno how I can get rid of it.

Whip out some needle nose pliers, hit the little orange piece of plastic with them or with a screwdriver or something through the bulb hole until it is loose. Then just twist it around with the needle nose until it is broken into pieces small enough to pull out through the hole. This is a pain in the a$$ and it makes a horrible sound but it does work and if you are remotely careful there won't be any damage to the turn signal capsule.

So it´s the same method like cleaning the back lights!? Thanx for the info.
