there is no site for our reflectors. a few discussed it. see the 5th gen forum on how they did it. something about baking off the amber IIRC.

i really did see them.. they were the clear replacements... i know i wasnt dreaming.. I know how to take the lights apart, and most likely how to take the amber reflector off as soon as i get it open..

i hope i wasnt seeing things, but i do remember seeing a picture of them.. LAter..

I know we had a group buy for my 350Z on the exact part your talking about. Basically a replacement for the amber part that is made of a clear reflector. However I've never seen such a product for the 6th gen. I'm SURE you could make your own. I've seen it done many times with supplies from Home Depot. OR just take the amber part out and tint it black with some spray tint. No matter what you do its better than the unsightly amber.

I tried to remove the orange reflector when I had the headlights open, but I BROKE it. If I had been perhaps a bit more careful, It may be possible to remove it and replace it with a clear one. It set in place with a tab so a reproduction using clear plastic would need to be done in order to make it work. It could work though, just a LOT of work for just that, HOwever, I may go back into the headlights and clean off the fog, so while Im there, I may clear the side reflectors.

Yeah.. no prob... I really cant stand the amber in the headlights... I could find some reflective vinyl to put over it, as ong as it doesnt look cheap./. I plan on painting my lights as well.. Just remember before you put your lights back on, to go over everything and make sure your finger prints are not there.. Best results are using latex gloves, but use a micro fiber cloth, like the ones you can get from Walmart for real cheap, to clean everything then use a hair dryer(cool cycle) or a air can to blow away the lent/dust that might have collected.. I hope a solution presents itself soon.. thanks again guys for you input... LAter.

No buddy, if you look its the Bulb that is the chrome type that is amber in color when lit. I had those on my Dodge Ram. But clear type when lit. I am talking about the side amber piece.. I am thinking of just covering it up (painting it) and try to find a clear reflective vinyl.. I just dont want it to look cheap.. thing is you have to have a reflector on the front side to pass inspection.. they are pretty pissy here in texas about that. Either clear or amber. If anyone has any other suggestion please let me know.. LAter.
