Clearing out lenses. Do i need to change blinker bulb?

Starting to get focused on clearing out my headlights, i plan on removing the amber and make it look like this...


Question. Do i need to get a difference set of light bulbs for the corners to acheive this look?

Thanks
Also i'm not sure if i want to do the angle eyes. Does anybody have pics of the cleared out lenses without angels installed?

Thanks
Krunk

You don't have to get different bulbs, but after the clearing you will def see the big ugly orange ones. I would say that if you want that look to get different ones. Got mine from http://www.bimmian.com/X5.

Yes, go get silver bulbs to complete the look. If you're gonna take the time to take out the amber lenses, you may as well take out the amber bulb.

....Here is my version...I cut the amber with a dremel, sanded the edges reglued the clear waffle reflector with hotglue and reassembled with solaris invisibulbs....I think it looks much cleaner...I tried it with the clear waffle reflector pulled altogether, but I didn't like seeing the bulb...looked kinda cheap...with the waffle reinstalled minus the amber edge, it looks very euro.......sorry for the poor resolution.....ugg....

I love the clear look, but I didn't even come close to get the headlight out! It need some kind of a long tool to reach down, then there is really no room to turn it open! Then even if I get the headlight out , I read I have to cut it open, and what if I break it!!!! It seems like too much trouble...and I may screw it up
