    [font=Comic Sans MS:ed3befa3f8]There are probably several sources. I've bought some Raybrig Hyper bulbs from Options Auto Salon. But check to make sure they are legal in your (unknown) area. Most US states require yellow signals.[/font:ed3befa3f8]

    i mean the orange blinker piece that's actually inside the headlights.

    i want to take the piece out or wondering if there are headlights without the orange blinker piece.

    Err... okok. Are you talking about the yellow bulb that's the indicators or the yellow reflector that's at the side of the headlight compound. Or are you referring to the little tiny yellow light that come on when you turn the headlight stalk to the first click.

    I've got a hunch you're referring to the reflector. If so, just take out the compound and remove it

    stinken1, I think your out of luck. It looks like the headlight piece is a one piece and can't easily be swapped out. Also, with the reflector functionality of the high beams, I don't think you can just swap in a different assembly.

    I could be wrong though and if you find a solution then please let me know as well. ive' also been tryong to find some carbon fiber or blackout Altezzas but haven't really found any.

    Have you checked out the European OEM headlight assemblies? I heard they are clear.

    I think the Orange front side piece is just a reflector and is required by federal law in the USA.

    i did and i'm happy to say the Euro Toyota DOES have the clear reflector.
    i've just emailed them to see if they would ship to the US.
    i'll keep you guys updated.
