i'm pretty sure if you got the hyperwhite bulbs (the ones that are blue colored) for the turn lights, it should give you a blue effect.

I wish my diffusers were available before I spent $900 on a set of JDM assemblies

There's your answer from the man himself.

The diffusers definitely look good!! We just finished working on one and it wasn't too bad. Just like Rick's instructions, there are a few times where you wonder wtf you were thinking!! But really, it's not bad as long as you have a helper. For the price, you can't beat the diffusers. Personally though, if I had money to blow (which of course I don't), I'd get some euro's just so I can have 2 sets of headlights...hehehe.

Just don't clear the stocks w/o the diffuser!! No offense intended to those who have the cleared lights before the diffusers were available.

I've got the clear diffusers and think they are well worth the money. $90 isn't all that much compared to the cost of your car.

If you're worried about the amout of work involved in installing the diffusers, check out my post on the experience:

Correct, the only problem with fit is when you're trying to mount the US turn signal sockets on the JDM or EDM assemblies.

Once you install the clear diffusers, the only question is what color wedge bulb you will use in the turn signal socket. Wedge bulbs that fit the socket are available many places.

I may be in the minority, but I really think that the cleared corners look much better without the diffuser. As long as you use high quality 'clean' white bulbs (PIAA, etc.), it looks as finished as with the diffuser, just much more of a mirrored effect, especially against '02 Sebring Silver.
