Clear Reflectors/diffusers

Some members have thought of getting clear headlights, but were thrown off by the cost of JDM/Euro headlights. I dont' remember where I saw this, but there's a site www.ricks2k.com that fabricates clear reflectors for various acura vehicles. The site says the reflectors are patterned exactly the same as the stock ones, and comes out to $72 + shipping . I'm going to email him, and see if he can make some for the TSX. I was wondering if anyone else would be interested.

too late...BDI beat you to it. We took out his reflectors and sent them to ricks2k to fabricate. Hopefully BDI will have more info soon.

see near the end of this post.

here is how club rsx tells u to do it ,its not to hard to do if u have tried it before ive done 4 or 5 sets of these on the rsx but it should not be to much harder on the tsx imo,but let me know about the reflectors and the diffusers when yall find something out would be neat to do maybe people in florida could have a mod party and do everyones headlights or something , david

I think it is Illegal in every state, but most places don't care. My civic had cleared lenses in both CT and NY and no one said anything during inspections because the bulb was still amber.

As long as the bulb is amber I think you are ok.

See, my question here would be if that is a problem w/ the tsx because the coners dont affect turning, the turning signals in the middle of the headlights, and even in europe its still orange
