I'm pretty all GSs come with clear door light lenses.

Can you be more specific with what you want? That would help us, help you.

Not quite sure what you're asking but the bulbs are what makes the color white. Every stock GS has the same diffuser.

Mine, being a Euro GS has RED lense, which sucks because even if I put led in there it wouldn't make a difference

Yep, red on all doors on my euro GS.

Seems to be a legal thing as my Prelude also came with red ones, as opposed to white ones on the US Prelude.

I'll take a pic and post it.

Not the first time for me!
I see it this way, it's not about stuff being JDM or EDM or USDM etc, for me it's about the stuff that is common in your country and isn't in the other. So for example if practically all cars in Europe have red lenses as puddle lights in their cars, I naturally want something different! See my point?
Check out the yahoo.jp auctions they have lots of Lexus stuff on there, because for them it's rare and interesting, but for example a Toyota (jdm) grille or logos/signs have practically no value! At least that's how I see it!

I'd also add that it depends on how you want your car to look. I wouldn't mind having the white lenses, but I'm not willing to pay extra for them.
