I think he meant he took out the stock orange bulb and put a clear bulb. Yes it is that simple thats the first thing I did when I got my car.

if that's what he meant then there's not "prying" involed. There's two phillips head screws that hold the assembly in place...

I think he's talking about the cloudy light diffractor lense in there

a few people (bradon90gxe, evilyak and others) did it before so the blinker looks clear looking into it and you can see the bulb looking straight at it

There's that piece that refracts the light...

Pry/break it out and it's 'Euro clear'

Guess that's what he's talking bout?

Thanks Craig...yeah. Chris, it's a very cloudy part of the fron blinker. When you're changing the bulb, take the clear part, turn it upside down...and pry off the cloudy insert. Once you do that...it looks like a 4th gens clear bumper lights
