Default 2001 Audi S4 Headlight Modification ?

I am looking to see if anyone has any information of the proper procedure to remove the yellow reflectors (turn signals) from inside the headlight housing. I've done a good little bit of web research and have come up short on how this is done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

first of all do u have autolevel housing? if not the process is fairly simple either way. Drill a hole on the tab holding the yellow reflector. I used a small regualar style drill bit. Dont drill the hole to big. Next u can either stick a small pin to make the reflector come loose. Once the reflector is loose u raise the aim of ur headlights using the little white screw on the top of the housing to aim ur headlights up or down. Aim them all the way up as this will allow u enough room to get the reflector out of the housing. If u have any trouble gettin it out i used a long flathead screwdrived and gently raised the plastic up just enough to slide the amber out and then u just fill ur hole with bathroom silicone so no condensation seeps into housing. heres a diy with pics so u get the idea. Its pretty much straight forward just dont drill ur hole to big and be careful not to scratch the inside of the housing or leave any plastic in there.

Thank you very much, especially for the included link, i was coming short on finding any kind of tutorial. Plus your extra advice could come in handy, as far as i know they are not auto leveling. Probably going to try this during the weekend. Thanks again.

Thank you! And actually its the second mod for me. First was a drop in K&N Filter along with a 1.5" by 3" rectangle cut out of the bottom of the airbox and covered over on the outside with a fine wire mesh (darintake). wish i had taken pictures of it before putting it back into the car.
