Would you pay $50. for a clear or smoked replacement diffusers??

[jonnerd154]

I wanted to see how many people are interested in clear or smoke diffuser replacements for our headlights. If enough people are interested the pair will go for $50.

Admins/Mods: This is an interest only poll and not a sale. If the diffusers have enough interest and make production, I will have the vendor contact you and work everything out.

The quality and finish product is a bigger concern than pricing, if you ask me. But that is a very acceptable figure to request.

Here are the diffusers from S2000's..

I'm All Over That!

[TSXmike]

like the reflector in the headlight???

if so... then YES

[ChinchillaX]

I am interested in these and voted yes!:thumbsup:

[MemphisRheins]

50$ sounds fair, Id like to replace them, but I still dont want to Put the headlights in an oven and then pop them open...

you could always browse ebay for some replacements... ive seen them as cheap as 200 for the pair

[Duke]

Yeah, pay $50 to put grey tint in front of my headlights and make them less effective?

Sure, I'm all over that... oh, wait, that would be stupid.

[MemphisRheins]

DUke, there talking about the orange corner lights that for some reason everyone hates, I actually Dont really mind them that much, Tailights I mind orange, but since we dont have it,

[robert_tg]

I voted no but I changed my mind.

Yes for $50

Is this an "easy" target for cops ?

Thanks, I understand now. I thought they were talking about tinted replacements for the clear covers. For the marker lights, meh, I wouldn't personally do it but I wouldn't call somebody stupid if they did.

I will say that since the stock driver's side headlight unit leaked and filled the HID inverter with water and blew it up, I wouldn't be likely to try cracking open and resealing my headlights.

[Andynolife]

does it require headlight opening ?
the leaking thing is still a big concern for me .. ~

[pocketkiller]

what is the point of diffuser again?

[SIGEPPOOPOOBOY]

count me in bbbbb5

[tsx on dubs]

[robert_tg]

everyone knows i'm joking...here ya go rrrrrrrrr6

[SIGEPPOOPOOBOY]

so is this 4 real or was it a setup to get us all xcited??? :mecry: :mecry: whats going on???

[tsx2208]

I would definitely be interested, but I am just concerned with the installaion of the product. Will it cause any leaking? And can u physically install it yourself.

Thanks,

[virtualbong]

I would also be interested.

[TSXmike]

any word on these yet?

[loxllxol]

So what's the deal with these? Any updates??

[chyllintsx]

im voting yes but is it a hassle to install them?

[Rmatic09]

yes, thats whats i dont like...

[tsx on dubs]

stuff thats custom and hard makes the odds of you seeing someone with them around your town so that is a good thing , david

[Benz]

I would love that....I actually have been looking for those....but, only found whole headlight replacements....... and I don't wanna spend to much~~

However, the leaking and exploding IS a big problem!

[tsx wildcat]

I voted no but I changed my mind.

Yes for $50

Is this an "easy" target for cops ?


It is actually legal to have the front diffusers not be amber color. But it is illegal for you to have clear corners and clear bulbs in the rear. Also you are allowed to have clear corners just not a bright white bulb in the rear. Info Courtesy from '98 California DMV Driver Laws Book

[TSXBeemerGuy]

Year old thread...I know many of you have clear/smoked diffusers now, but what happened to this $50 price? I haven't seen any diffusers go for only $50... (Which makes more sense for a clear piece of plastic)

[Peregrine]

for those of you who are too afraid to open your lights and replace them, and are afraid of leakage, if you ever decide to, for $50 I can professionally replace them for you. I've baked and opened about 6 sets of lights by now (when installing angel eyes), and none of them leak. Some of you who know what a perfectionist I am will know it's a good deal.

[Benz]

^ Sadly, you don't live around me...or else that $50 is urs!!

[robert_tg]

50$ sounds fair, Id like to replace them, but I still dont want to Put the headlights in an oven and then pop them open...
:werd:
I'd pay double that if opening the assembly could be avoided.

[Peregrine]

double ain't gonna do it... only magic would :grinno:

for those of you who are afraid of this, let me tell you, it's not as big a deal as you think it may be. If done properly, there would not be ANY difference between a headlight that was opened and closed, and one that was never opened. Thre's NO WAY it can leak or fog up, UNLESS it's not closed properly, the bulb grommets/seals are not fit in properly, or the salt bags are bad. The people wo complain about their headlights leaking or fogging up must have one of these problems:
1) Someone did a crappy job in closing the light
2) Whoever refitted all bulbs did not fit them in properly
3) The salt bag was removed, or hard from moisture acummulated over time. This is a simple fix - hitting the salt bag with a wood stick will loosen the grains again and it will work just fine.

Again, if you ever want me to do this, you can even ship me the lights, but you'd have to cover shipping charges both ways.

[kyotousa]

what if we forget the diffuser
how much would it be if we ship to you and have you paint them and stuff?

[Peregrine]

paint what ??

[robert_tg]

what if we forget the diffuser
how much would it be if we ship to you and have you paint them and stuff?

huh ?
you realize the lights still needs to be opened to paint the diffuser right ?
so you rather cheap out on $50 ?

[kyotousa]

^^^
well...pizzaman and chily did it right?....so shouldn't be a problem

[Peregrine]

^^^

actually, it was me who did their lights and Jay's ;)

chyllin just told me one of headlights is getting moisture, but that's because he had really used up and shity salt bags. We loosened them up and I thought that would help, but apparently that's not enough. It needs to be replaced.

[kosta]

i'm in ...if you will produce them for an 06

[konelao]

I'd buy them if it includis the shipping cost

[konelao]

Will it be made for an 06

[hoOnzABPtsX]

cant you just take the orange diffuser out and it would be cleared out anyway? I know a friend with a TL who just took the orange diffuser out and it looks fine

[narci]

Personally I think it looks funny. You can tell a soemthing is missing the way that area is shaped.

[WhiteTsx001]

Correct me if i am wrong.. this is the ez and cost effective way to make the lights look like the JDM ones? Where the corner fo the light is clear?

If so ive already got a pair of JDM lights on order so count me out :mardi:

what salt bags are you referring to? I popped out the headlights today and plan on blacking out the diffusers but there were no salt bags inside

[Peregrine]

there are white bags on the inner wall of the headlight housing next to the HID reflector

[ILoveMyHonda]

I'd still be interested in this, but it looks like theres not hope for this.

I just "molested" my JDM headlights but, I'd like to do this on my USDM headlights.

[MemphisRheins]

I Love my Honda... how 'bout some pictures of your car actually... sounds real nice...

[hoOnzABPtsX]

What happened to this group buy??

[infamous206]

heh, I knew it...always there is an idea but never come true.
