there not turn signals just marker lights which is a 194 bulb or go to a little brighter 921 unscrew the 2 screws


get a thin flat tip and gently pry out

oh lol, I'm sure you can take the reflector out and make a clear one to fit, but it would probably be a lot more of a pain. I looked into doing something similar to my old car and a lot of people use heat to get the reflector lenses off. You could try that, if I had my old corner lights I would do a test run with the oven for ya, but i threw them out over 2 years ago.
