Remove Orange turn signals?

I hate the way the yellow/orangish turn signals look. Anyone no where I can get a clear Lens to put on it or just a way to get rid of the orangish/yellow color? Been looking for 2 days and can't find one. I've seen a few g37s onhere so I know there's a way to get rid of it. Thanks

You can open up the headlight and melt off the studs that hold the yellow part of the turn signal to remove it. While you're in there, you might want to go ahead and mod your headlight with a lens swap, angel eyes, iron man, whatever floats your boat. This isn't easy or fun.

You can also opt to do what other people do and simply use some VHT Niteshade (same stuff people use to tint head and tail lights) to tint the reflector. It'll reflect the same, but it'll be blackish instead of orange.

Keep in mind that this very well might cause you to fail inspection, and/or be grounds for an insurance company refusing to cover you. You are effectively disabling a safety feature of the car and the insurance company may (rightfully) refuse to cover you.

There isn't a clear side marker. People sometimes paint over them which isn't legal in North America but is almost never enforced for passenger cars.
If someone has a clear front turn signal, they have probably replaced the orange bulb with a silver coated bulb that illuminates amber or a clear LED that illuminates amber. This is legal.

Any idea how he did this, and if it would pass inspection, I'm pretty new to the g37 forums and a lot newer to headlight mods, so I do have someone that will be doing it, I just wanted to buy the right part first

That's simply a white signal bulb rather than an amber one. Looks weird to me but it's perfectly legal. It looks like a custom side marker strip. If it's visible from the side any time the lights are on and illuminates white or amber it's legal.

I haven't installed on my G yet but I used LED switchbacks on my Titan. Just make sure to use an inline load resistor or you get hyper flash , which is extremely irritating.

Switchbacks are white when on but amber when the turn signal is engaged. The best part is that they match up to your HID headlights. Again, make sure to install a load resistor to avoid hyperflash.

You can replace them with chrome bulbs that blink orange from stealthauto.com

For the blinkers, i replaced the amber bulb with a regular halogen clear bulb.
For the reflectors in the headlight, I didn't want to mess around with opening the headlight, so I painted the bulb inside the reflector black and put it back in. The reflector is still orange but it won't light up at night.
