I completely DISAGREE with that comment. There are so many different methods and styles of a "cleared out" headlight that makes it overdone. Cleared out or JDM headlights date way back to Civic and Integra days. I believe Amber is what makes a car or an S unique. True they are stock with amber, but when you think "clean" amber sidemarkers and AP1 headlights should definetely be included. Please dont get me wrong. I have seen many cleared out headlights that look awesome. My point is, amber does not make an S fall away from the clean catergory. IN many ways, I think it ADDS to the clean look.

I have never denied a car for having amber AP1's. By "cleared out" I don't mean removing the amber diffusers and having the chrome naked look, but I think on most colors JDM AP1 headlights look clean. To each their own. If you think amber looks clean, by all means leave it on your car, but I think it clashes with many paint colors.

I couldn't wait to get rid of my amber stuff. IMO they ruin the flow of the front of the car.

This is the day I installed the JDM smoked diffusers. So happy!





The lights look soooo much better to me now - one big, smooth assembly.

I would be *denied* at this moment in time. My front lip is in two pieces.

A bit too aggressive autocrossing this season.
