Hi
Just wondering if any of you figured out how to remove / mask the orange reflector in the headlight of the pre LCI D4.

It's so so ugly.

highly doubt you can open up the lens, I'm sure it's sealed tight. I don't even notice the reflector honestly. I used to care more about that stuff, when I could change it easily I guess. On my last 750 I used vinyl wrap to cover the reflectors that were on the front fenders.

Hard to say without opening up the lens, I don't think anyone has tried. In general, you can open up headlight cases by putting them in the oven at a low temperature, to soften the adhesive. As far as removing the yellow, I have no suggestions since I'm not sure how it has been applied. My only thought would be to purchase the European version, and sell your current set. I should give you caution, though, as the European models were available with dynamic headlights not legal in the U.S, and I'm not sure if the headlights would even work. I'd have to have a look at the electrical connectors for both. There may be a market that sold the A8 that did not have the yellow markers but also without the dynamic feature, but I'm not sure.

+1. That, and the front and rear side reflectors are mandated US safety equipment. They used to be separate lights on many cars, but over time crept into the front and rear light assemblies (orange front, red back). When I was a kid before the req't came in, cars would occasionally get creamed broadside when oncoming drivers didn't see them during intersection turning and such. Still happens obviously, but more likely to be seen at the margin. Not pretty if it ever happens.
