Reflective Amber dilemma

I have a BO G37 and really hate the look of the reflective amber... however.. the laws here in B.C Canada require you to have it otherwise the cops can ticket you..

I'd love to remove the amber reflective strip or black it out but if I get a ticket and vehicle inspection it would be difficult to restore it to original...

What should I do?

1)Change the city bulb on the reflector to white led? will that help lessen the amber look or just make it show more?

2)Put 5% tint on just the side strip, that may make it look less obvious but will it look funny?

3)Completely remove the city bulb on the reflector, that way no light shines through it, but still when light reflects of it we will see the ugly amber..

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

^if you get an overlay, get bats overlays for the whole housing. !

hopefully they have a replacement clear coming out soon.

I'm thinking about bat's gtr overlays for the front, it covers the side strip but i don't really like the look of it at certain angles looks non OEMish... not sure though if only i could see it in person

Ive seen them in person, they look good, its cheap, and easily removable if you end up not being happy with it.

if you do anything else, its a lot more work.

Go for them!

Bats has great products.
