Using the soldering gun is scary, but it sure beats yellow dust in your headlights.

You might need to use some adhesive removal to get the adhesive off the visor.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Yes, but only if the amber color is inside the headlight, as shown in the link below, which shows how to perform the "amberectomy."

I know, she is pretty too! I was just talking BS! Let me know how it goes please, I have been seriously, seriously considering this mod, but soldering irons intimidate me.
Speed Demon,
Looks like your car has already had the procedure, but its hard to tell from the photo. I've done this to my car and whatever you do, don't do what some advocate and use a drill or a pair of needlenose pliers to try to break up the yellow reflector. I tried that first, and there are still orange/yellow reflector shards and dust in my headlights that I can't get out (not even by vacuming...tried for about an hour). Luckily, most of the debris has settled to relatively inconspicuous locations, but it still bugs me a little bit. Using the soldering gun is scary, but it sure beats yellow dust in your headlights.
No it is not difficult. Even you could probably do it!
Sorry, I couldn't help myself on that one!
1. Remove the sun visors. They just pull off the bar. Pull toward the center of the car.
2. Place a folded up paper towel over the sticker.
3. Moisten the paper towel with rubbing alcohol.
4. Let the alcohol sit for about 5 minutes.
5. Peel the sticker off.
6. You might need to use some adhesive removal to get the adhesive off the visor.
Be careful on the "mirror" side of the visor. You can remove the mirror and the mirror housing so you don't mess up the electrical connections with the alcohol.
