Yeah, the JDM and EDM have clear instead of our amber diffusers. Apparently they are not available as a separate part. Making knock offs would be expensive, others have estimated, with the setup costs being so high for a very limited run. Maybe our Japanese or Euro friends want to swap with us??

Secret AP1 - I disagree about the towel. I've done the clearing twice now and never had any problems with the towel. Just make sure it is really damp. Put a tray on the rack underneath the towel and set the oven temps correctly.

Sorry to change the subject, but how hard is it to change the bulbs without taking the bumper off again? I'm going to be clearing my headlights soon and I'm going to be using hyperwhite bulbs, but I don't know how I'm going to feel about the blue reflection for the bulbs until they are installed.

I didn't have any problem with the towel either. The thing to remember is to make sure it's really really wet. I used the towel to allow the headlight to sit on them so that the grill doesn't accidentally make any mark on the housing.

While you do have to take the bumper off to clear the headlamps (or replace them with EDM or JDM versions), you do not have to remove the bumpers to replace the bulbs. You remove a few plastic clips then peel back the fender liner to get access to the bulb mounts. It's a pain, but a lot easier than taking the bumper off.
