80 series headlights

my 80 has twin headlight thingys where the outside goes when you turn the headlights on, but the inner one is activated by a switch and the inner one is yellow, but upon removing the bulb, it seems the yellow part is a lens of some description inside the headlight.

what I want to know is, can you remove the yellow bit somehow so I can put a high intesity blue bulb thingy in there or something.

hate the yellow and want it gone

any of you done this or had an 80 series headlight apart to be able to see inside

thanks in advance
