Many
S2000 owners favor the look of the clear corner headlamp assemblies provided
stock for S2000s in Japan and Europe but don’t want to pay the near-$1,000
cost for a set of the JDM or EDM headlamps to replace their stock US amber
corner lamps. To save money, some have converted the stock amber-corner
US headlamp assemblies, which requires melting the sealant that holds
the assemblies together, removing the amber diffusers, then resealing
the units. The results, many agree, look a bit amateurish. The turn signal
reflector and bulb are exposed, and the assembly looks unfinished.
For
as long as owners have been doing the clear-corner conversion, people
have been looking for a reasonably-priced set of clear lenses to replace
the amber plastic lenses that cover the exposed reflectors and bulbs.
Many people have been deterred from doing the conversion themselves because
they don't like the look of the exposed reflector and bulb, even though
the do-it-yourself conversion saves a cost of well over $800 for the JDM
or EDM clear corner headlamp assemblies (which have a clear lens with
a different pattern). Also, there is a risk that improper reassembly of
the lamps will permit moisture to condense inside, ruining their appearance.
With
the help of several other S2000 owners, Rick’s can finally
offer an inexpensive solution. First, we are now offering
clear diffusers for the US lamp assemblies (diffuser
installation instructions). Our clear diffusers have the
same pattern as the stock amber diffusers and fit the lamp
assembly perfectly. The diffusers are offered in two colors
clear or gray tinted, and the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market)
pattern. The JDM pattern duplicates the diffusers sold in
Japan and the rest of the world.
A
pair of our diffusers in either color, ready to install, is
just $95 + shipping.
For
those who don't want to take the trouble and risk of taking
apart the headlamp assemblies themselves, Rick's is also offering
a special conversion option. For only $225 (including the
cost of the clear diffusers), your stock amber-corner headlamp
assembly can be converted to clear corners by an experienced
S2000 owner. This requires that you remove the assemblies
and ship them to our Headlight Clearing Specialist, where
the conversion will be done and the assemblies shipped back
to you in about 48 hours. The lamps are guaranteed to be free
of defects and leaks for three months and any defects in the
conversion will be repaired free of charge.
To
order the conversion, follow these steps:
1.
Select the conversion option. When you place the order, your card will
be billed only for the cost of the diffusers ($100) as a deposit.
2. Once your order is processed, you will be contacted via e-mail by our
Headlight Clearing Specialist with detailed shipping instructions.
3. Ship them at your expense, to the address supplied by our Headlight
Clearing Specialist.
4. We convert them, and ship back.
5. Once the conversion is completed and the headlamps have been shipped
back to you, the balance ($125) plus return shipping will be billed to
your card.
Important!
When
you ship your headlamp assemblies, insure the shipment for $800.00.
This will cover the replacement cost of the headlamp assemblies. You
are required to remove the HID bulbs and ballast prior to
shipping. This
will reduce shipping cost, and these parts are not required as part
of the clearing process and can only get and/or cause damage during
shipping.
