Okay, so my hair was a dark brown, with highlights ranging from brown to light blonde and then black all around my bangs.
 
My mom suggested I get my hair lightened in preparation for my sisters wedding
 
so I went to this place and I received 7 foils
They are all around my front area, which is fine but I don't like them at all and they are kind of orange.
 
 
 
Sooooo I want to get rid of them, without leaving a huge difference of color when I dye over them.
 
I don't have pics atm.
 
Thanks for any help ^_^

I'd suggest you try coloring those sections using a semi permanent 1-2 shades lighter than your natural color.  Apply the color from root to mid-shaft, but only pull it through the ends for the final 10 minutes of processing (the ends are porous and will soak up color faster).
IMPORTANT:  Do a strand test on one of the less-conspicuous sections before hitting all of them!
This should blend those sections with your natural color.  Normally, to darken highlighted hair, you'd be advised to use a red filler (to avoid a greenish tone); however, since you said it's kind of orange now, a filler probably won't be necessary.
The sections you dye will fade over several weeks.  When that happens, you can just go back and freshen them up.
Good luck!
