Default Cleared Headlights vs. Rick's Diffusers

I want to get rid of the orange diffuser in my headlight but am not sure if i should get the diffuser or not. I haven't seen either in person. Are the diffusers really worth $90? That seems like a lot of money for two little pieces of plastic. Anyone who cleared them wish they had gotten rick's diffusers? Anyone with the diffusers wish they had saved the $90? Any other opinions are appreciated. BTW my car is Sebring and i have JDM sidemarkers.

I haven't ordered mine yet, but I plan on getting Rick's clear diffusers. Without any diffuser, it looks a little incomplete to me.

$90 is nothing compared to spending $800 plus on JDM or Euro headlight housings.

I have the diffusers and they are exactly what I wanted. I much prefer the EDM/JDM look. I am very pleased that Rick stepped up to the plate with these.

i think that getting the diffusers are well worth it. they give the headlights a more finished look.

have a look for yourself.

I agree that they look unfinished without them, but then again I am biased. I have seen the Cleared without the diffusers and waited until they existed to do mine. I am far too cheap to pay for the JDM/EDM lights.

<------- Look at Sig for Sebring/Clear Diffusers example.

You own an S2000 and are worried about spending $90?

I have seen cleared headlights in person, and they aren't my bag, baby. It just doesn't look very good or finished. The clear diffusers are awesome. I much prefer the OEM Plus look than the blatant "I yanked out my orange diffusers and I didn't want to spend the money on Euro's" look.

How about a clear Blue inserts, bet that looks cooool.

Sorry guys, ever since I saw, then later installed my Alpine blue face, I can't get enough of blue. Can't wait til my blue dash kits come in. And if they do have blue clear headlight inserts, I'll get them.

Back to your question. If the only difference b/t Rick's and others are the clear diffusers and $90, I wouldn't mind spending the money. Besides, I gotta support a fellow Mid-Atlantic member.
