Unhappy Clear front turn signals no more? :(

i've been searching for almost a week now, and it seems APC have stopped making their clear turn signals 100% clear, but instead they now sport an amber reflector.
kinda defeats the purpose :S

being all the way in Dubai doesn't really help as the very few potentials i found don't wanna ship abroad or even charge a "foreign" CC
my email inquiries to sellers around the net and on eBay are barely getting any answers as well.

can anyone help here?
i don't mind paying more for shipping than the part itself. i can pay by CC, Wire Transfer or Western Union instant cash transfer.

I found a guy on e-bay that had five sets, fully clear, to sell about a month ago. Looks like he's auctioning another set now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-06...QQcmdZViewItem
He's asking $14 for shipping, but I got what I wanted.
Installation was easy, thanks to OKCMustangGT's posting.
Even my wife agreed that this enhances the look of the car.

I read somewhere the amber reflector in those lights are removable. They just added them to the assembly to satisfy the DOT regulation.

Does anyone know for sure???

yes they can be removed, yes they now make them with amber to maintain DOT regs. Here is a pic with the amber turns in










Yes i know, the grill got a little bent, i has been fixed, just no new pics loaded yet. I got mine from Jegs. Cost a little more than musclecardirect, but i didnt want to wait.

Dirty Sanchez: did you try removing the amber reflectors yourself?
