Default Can it be done?

I read somewhere that a guy used a hairdryer and cleared his headlight out himself, you know melted the orange reflector on the blinkers of his civic, anyone know if this is possible or done it before?

I think he's trying to ask if it's possible to melt away the orange color and be left with clear signals. In answer to your question Corye03, I think the orange signal is true orange plastic. This meaning that the entire thing would have to melt away to get rid of all the orange. I could be wrong though, but I sure as hell wouldn't risk it. Plastics + high temps = bad news.
