jdm cars dont have it but a lot of people do it themselves on uk cars , you need to take out the screws and heat the lights up,this melts the sealant and you can split them and remove the orange indicator lense.

There a DIY mod, remove lights, heat them up, split them, unclip the orange lense and whilst still warm stick them back together, job done

After you have removed the orange lense, do you have to change the bulb to be orange or does it flash orange already?
And do people use lacquer after they have sprayed it gloss black?

Cheers peeps!
