It took me a little while but was very easy to do! Thanks to HyperDimensions for the directions. Anyone have any aiming suggestions so I can minimize the blinding effect?? Also, someone told me that the USDM rear turnsignal socket was the same as the front JDM turnsignal socket, which I found out after my car was in pieces that they are NOT the same. The collar of the USDM socket has a similar connection but it has a deeper connection and the prongs wouldn't reach the socket. I had to break away the top of the socket with needle nose pliers and spread the prongs just a hair to get them to fit. It actually worked pretty well and the connection seemed to be pretty solid. Time will tell. Any advice on aiming lights would be appreciated. Thanks

I'd purchase them in a heartbeat if I wasn't so annoyed with the beam pattern, especially because the japanese cars are right hand drive.
I used to have the 00-01 JDM headlights for only 2 weeks, then sold them just because of that issue! Good thing your able to put up with it! Overall, it looks fantastic!

Best way to catch this is to face your s2000 against a wall with the lights on, you'll see it!

Yeah, I believe there is, just like JDM headlights, but the beam pattern is USDM style. This topic has been brought up several times in the past. I have just decided to give up on it.
