I think he means the orange, roundish piece within the headlight housing, these would be the actual "front turn signals."

I don't think anyone has cleared this piece out yet...

I just got my today for about $55.00 the replacement for the along with the piaa x-trem wedge bulb, great much alon with the 5w wedge for the DRL as well.....as for the front signal i heard that you have to remove the front bumper and go int o the headlight from that direction hope to found more unless anyones done it already on this fourm.

the front turn signals in the headlights are TOO HARD to get rid of. I think they're supposed to be harder to get those out than gettin the rear orange cleared. You gotta take apart the light assembly and crack the glass and everything. Too much trouble I must say

Someone wanna try painting the headlight the bodycolor?

as for the holes in your bumper from removing your license plate...get some nice screws that screw into it (make sure it has a nice head), and spray the head body color, and screw it in the holes..itll make it much better. (try to find a screw that has a very thin flat head).
