Edit (11 years later): Don’t do this unless you’re going to provide a fallback to indicate which element is active. Otherwise, this harms accessibility as it essentially removes the indication showing which element in a document has focus. Imagine being a keyboard user and not really knowing what element you can interact with. Let accessibility trump aesthetics here.
Although, it’s been argued that keeping the glow/outline is actually beneficial for accessibility as it can help users see which Element is currently focused.
You can also use the pseudo-element ‘:focus’ to only target the inputs when the user has them selected.
