USR Clear Diffusers

Does anyone know if USR still makes the clear diffusers? I tried a few times to email them and no response, and if I try to order when I try to select a method of shipping, none of them work they all say this method is unavailable. Does anyone know the scoop on this?

I got the clear diffusers from them like 5 months ago. I think they still have them. This should be their email if you want to contact them directly racingqueen119@yahoo.com

Pretty Sure that email is no good. This is what I sent, and I got a automated message response, kinda like scammy.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a set for clear headlight diffusers for a 04 TL. I tried to email the address on the website as well as call the number and I didn't get a response. I posted in acurazine forum and someone gave me this email. Please let me know if you guys still do sell them I would like to purchase a set ASAP. Thank you

They responded(Auto)

I deal with them on daily basis, great company to deal with, the customer service may come off a bit slow but they stand behind their product.

P.S. They will not ship to an unverified address, regardless of what the situation is, I am a vendor and even I have to provide verified address.

^^ The diffusers do not drop right in, they are made for the Depo replica TL headlights, measurements are off a few mm. You will have to shave them at least 2~3 mm in order to make them fit perfect.

Here is how they look when shaved off and installed properly.

You're not gonna get far into modding if you are being pansy about something as easy and simple as removing the front bumper.

Man up and get to know your car inside and out better. Don't be one of those modders that wants to do everything, but at the same time doesn't want to do it because it requires doing something that you never attempted before.

Touch it, feel it, taste it, smell it, get your hands dirty, don't be scared.

Saying "I never done it before" "I'm afraid i'll break something" is no excuse. Everyone here on acurazine at one point never took a bumper off our TL before (I was one of them). I was afraid like you, but decided to man up and try it. It's not as difficult as you make it to be. Alot of mods require taking the front bumper off. Some mods even make it easier to install if you remove the front bumper.

If you're never gonna attempt to remove your front bumper how are you ever gonna install a Cold Air Intake? Modified headlights? Accord Fog Light retrofit? A-Spec front lip kit?

If you're never gonna remove your rear bumper how are you gonna install modified tail lights? A-Spec rear bumper?

If you're willing to pay someone else to do the dirty work for you than I guess you can... but SMH...

+1

i almost always do everything on my own unless it is something i just simply do not have the tools for (mainly air tools and a torch for rusted stuff). Theres honestly nothing better than the feeling after you install something with your own hands.

oh, and you save some money too

This. I was dissatisfied with the clear sidemarkers they sell, and it took a bit of complaining but they refunded me fully.

Simon from USR is a great guy to deal with...you call and ask for him and tell him you're from AZ and he takes care of you.

I recently put their smoked sidemarkers on (with white LED) and let me tell you, they are sweet lookin...I can see how other colors may not like how they look but on NBP, they clear lenses blend perfectly with the color of the car and make them even LESS obvious when installed than the OEM ones.

they wouldn't give a discount, but i paid the 120$ +shipping anyways because I really wanted them. I was a little nervous to do this mod myself, but hey gotta start somewhere right. Should be getting the diffusers on the 9th so that weekend I'll install, now all I need is some switchbacks and some butyl which I'll get this week. Exciting, yet a little scary doing this but hey gotta learn how to DIY.
