This is not a side marker question. Is it possible to a) remove the orange piece of plasic by each headlight for the directional? And b) change the bulb from orange to clear? What bulb or wattage?
I saw a before and after pict for a Toyota 4runner and I was floored. I am going to do it to my 4runner. I think out Tours would look great without the dumb looking orange.

The bulbs are clear. When they are ON (parking lights) they have a bit of a yellow tint to them, but when they are full bright (turn signal) they are a really bright white (bright as hell LOL) Anyway, you can get the bulbs from anywhere that sells the standard orange bulbs.

Yeah, I'm kinda with SVT Kris. There's no way to get to the reflector where the hadlight bulbs go thru? I haven't taken apart the lights so if that is stupid, please don't flame me.
And my bulb is orange by the way.

Don't think that taking the front off is possible. When I got in a accident, the face was scratched. They had to replace the whole housing ($300). But then again this is CEG, where there's a will, there's a way!

But then again this is CEG, where there's a will, there's a way! hehe, I've done it MANY times. I can now take one apart in 6 minutes flat. (Don't try this at home)
