Default Clear signal on head lights

Hi everyone..I am looking for the clear signal on the headlight on a 2003 Audi A4 1.8T..i would put an orange bulb but in a clear corner case
If i'm not mistaken you can change only the signal on the audi A4 models ending in 2001 (from 2002 on, its the whole headlight)
i just wanted to check with you Audi experts

thanks a lot

Im pretty sure you can get coem clear corner lights for your car if not just do it your self it cant be too hard, and the bulbs are easy to do jsut get silver ones or paint your old ones, and in 99.5 they went to one piece lights so from then on you couldnt just change the corner but the mod is easy, search around and im sure you will find how to do it on your car

here is a picture of the side headlight which i'm referring to
as you can see (the signaling light) is clear, not the original yellow

I was looking at the headlamps in my 2001 A4, and it looks like the yellow part in the headlamp is seperate - can it just be removed?

Yea it can be removed with a bit of dremeling from the outside of the headlight on the tabs that hold the amber insert in place. Ill find the link for the DIY. You might want to buy some "stealthbulbs" that look silver and light up amber... im thinking of doing this small mod this summer. Ill find the link..

That doesn't sound too bad- though I don't have any experience with headlamps (re-aligning, installation..etc) Thanks for the link. I think that job will be reserved for a day that I have a lot of free time (and patience).
Have you done it before, or seen it done? I've seen bulbs in LLtek that I think are clear, but are yellow when turned on. Maybe I'm thinking of something else...who knows.

yea thats true
someone else told me the same thing...the lights are silver when off....and yellow/orange when they are on
What name do they have, so I know how to search them by?

I thinkECS Tuning sells something like that. When I bought my E-code headlights from them it came with a clear bulb that blinks orange.
