Default smoked jdm or mulderized diffusers?

I've been battling with myself for quite some time now on what to do with my headlights. At first I thought JDM smoked diffusers, then mulderized, then no diffusers, then just totally converting to AP2 lights.

Ugh, I just don't know what to do.
I'm so indecisive. All I know for sure is I don't want them to stay like they are much longer.

I'm convinced that to make up my mind I'm going to have to see the JDM smoked, and the mulderized diffusers in person (hopefully on a Berlina). I really don't think pics do either justice so I'm afraid this is the only way I'll be able to choose.

So post up with what you've got and where and if you don't mind and you aren't too far I might try and meet up with you or catch you at your local meet.
I don't mind driving.

Thanks.

I have a set of Mulderized for $25 if you want them.

RXDI should be your choice for the conversion if you buy those as well (if he wants to do them) he is very good at the "crack and seal" process to get those in the AP1 lights

I happen to like the "naked" look (no diffusers)

those mulderized ones are sharp too. Smoked JDM or USDM sometimes look brownish or bluish to me......not the right color to go with berlina

I have mine Mulderized and really like it, though mine is Suzuka Blue.

Is that the same color/shade paint he suggested to use?

It kind of looks like gloss black instead of that flat dark gray and I thought he said it wouldn't look right like that...

I could be wrong but it also looks like the unpainted orange space is in a different place than in the mulders.

The orange space is in a different space than he suggest in the How-To though it seems like it would really just be personal preference. But the paint does look a bit glossy and may look funky. But really painting the diffuser was the easy part. The pain in the ass is taking apart and putting back together the headlights.

the paint looks glossy because it is reversed painted under the plastic

I like the modified mulderized look that Turbo Josh did:

Wait was that last pic taken at the supermeet? I definitely didn't see him there.

I think I still like mulderized better though. Like I said I really need to see it in person though...
