You can't remove the amber from those lights. It's not a film, it's part of the one-piece plastic covering of the headlight. Your only option is to get early 991 (996 1999-2001) headlights or later Boxster headlights (2003-2005). The new-style lights will have a slight amber hue in the turn signal area. The can be remedied by removing the internal amber diffuser using the instructions above. You'll probably want to install an amber bulb with silver coating to finish it off, with no amber at all unless the bulb is on (this keeps everything in line with DOT standards.)

The only set of directions i can find are yours, but i cant seem to figure out how to get the assembly apart. It's kinda funny because I'm usually very good at these kind of things. Could you please explain? Oh, and how exactly does it come apart? Heat? Hi, I just took out my head light just to see how you could remove the ambler film.
