Default Clear JDM Lights for MY2003?

I've been thinking..., what could Honda possibly bring for the MY2003's, since the MY2002's had major upgrades? Perhaps the clear JDM lights since the European counterparts are now doing it.

Any thoughts?

They can't be the same as JDM and European lights because there is a federal requirement that all cars sold in the US have an amber reflector on the front visible from the side. I think they could make them better than they are now by making the reflector smaller, but I don't see why they would go to the trouble.

It's all just a wishful thinking, but if Honda went through the trouble of adding a glass rear window....

Well, if they were to do that, it would only make things ALOT worse. They would have to add orange reflectors somewhere else on the front of the car and that would cost even more money to fix. Look at the BMW 3 series coupes...The US cars have those orange reflectors DRILLED into the bumpers... And they funny thing is, they came like this even BEFORE the clear signals were available as a factory installed option, don't ask me why. Now they have no choice but to either get ugly cheap clear reflectors or get them shaved which costs a bunch more.
