Headlamp Question

Hey I was curious how to get rid of the orange that wraps around the side of the headlamps. Mine has an orange L like shape around the side of the headlamp over the vision bulb, but I could not see how to get this orange off easily. Is there an easy way to do this or do you have to take your headlamp completely apart?

You'd probably want European i.e. LH drive versions, rather than UK versions in case the lens has any changes to it for deflecting the light.

My LR2 has no nasty orange bits Mr. Green

As a short-term solution, I'll allow them to print out pictures of my headlights to stick-on their motors... Thumbs Up Laughing '57 FL2 GS
