Default Orange reflector removeable on Chevy Turn signal?

I've seen posts about removing the orange reflector from GMC headlights.
Is the same thing possible with Chevy turn signal lights below our headlamps?
Thanks guys.

But are they any good for $20.00? I have heard bad things about the cheapies out there.
It gets pretty hot/cold/rainy here so I don't know how long they would last.

I have a pair of the black clear "cheapies". they were about $15 on e-bay. Im on my second pair but the first ones lasted about a year before the lenses started to look grimey. You can get a more expensive pair but for $15 i can live with getting new ones when i need them, im sure the same will happe to the more expensive brands as well. just my 2 cents

$15.00 bucks huh, sounds like a deal. Are they in decent shape, no chips,cracks, or yellowing? I know I can't expect much for $15.00 but I have to ask.

Anyone remember back on LS1tech, someone posted something about having to warm up your lenses in an oven at low temp to break the bond on the amber section of the lamp? Or was that something for tailight mods? Its been a while since I saw it so I'm not really sure.

I'll take some pics here in a bit. They are in good shape, were on the truck for 3 years so as good as you can expect for that age.

I dont know what that black stuff is on the back side of the one side, it happened at the parking garage at school, was on my hood and everything but it all rubbed off. I never bothered to try with the lights b/c you can't see it. Send me a PM if you're interested.
