Huh? How is a reflector going to help? I assume you said that in jest. They seem to do just fine in Europe without the reflector, so safety is not an issue. And if a driver at night when my car is parked on the street hits the front end because there is no reflector, he's got bigger problems in not seeing my car. LOL.

Many people over the years have done exactly that, often referred to as the "clear corner mod". You have to bake the headlight in an oven, to get the lens off. And then you break off the reflector, and silicone back on the lens. Way more work and risk than I'm willing to take.

I bought these but they are no longer available:

I have similar bulbs already on the way.
