Default JDM Headlights vs. Ricks Clear Diffuser

For those who have seen both, how does the Ricks clear diffuser compare?

People have said that rick's diffusers looks more aggressive, since it is OEM style. The JDMs look nice too, but are very expensive. IMO, rick's clear diffusers look somewhat weird to me, so instead I ordered his smoke version. Can't wait to get mine!

I have never seen either, but aren't the JDM lights for cars driven on the left side of the road? The right light has more of cut off then the left, right? That would be the opposite for the US lights.

The JDM lights are a lot more expensive, as well.

I meant how does it compare to the JDM one. How does it look? Does it look better?

The diffusers look a little different, but it's not that big of a deal to me. They both look good. Remember that you have to change the light bulb sockets with the JDM headlights as well.

If you're sketched about taking yours apart and have $$$ then go JDM. Otherwise, save yourself ~$800 and do it yourself.

Why not just get the continental Europe one then? Or is it just cool to get JDM parts?
