well, the bulb is actually clear.... its the plastic thats orange .... so you would have to cover the orange with red vinyl (red outs), or get IS-F tails...

You might be able to open up the headlight housing and take off the orange? I know we did that to my brothers civic back in the day lol. Not sure if it'll work with the IS though.

there was a thread where someone blacked out the housing. at the same time they tried to remove the orange reflector but said things would not fit without it. So thier solution was to just paint it a heavy black.

the lens is clear and the bulbs are amber. From what I know so far, you have to remove the bumper to get to those 4 bulbs. See my post here. Hope it helps.
