I love the HID headlamps on the S, but with any elevation changes in the road they can either irritate oncoming traffic or drastically reduce the field of illumination. Reading about the EVO wagon project over coffee, this line caught my eye:

Could this mean that we have a JDM option available in our future, or have I been so far out of it that it has been added to the 06 without noticing? I, for one, would be all over this if it comes our way.

 

Two things:
1) Auto leveling is not instantaneous. It does not react fast enough to avoid "flickering" when you go over bumps on the road. It only helps if you put a heavy load in the trunk, for example.
2) Auto leveling lights for the S2000 has been available in Europe (and possibly other parts of the world also) since day one.

 

I personally like the flickering effect

 

Me too. They attract attention and that's better than not being noticed and having someone run into you. As time goes by more and more people will understand what HIDs are and that attention will be less and less irate.

 

the headlights are brilliant the way they are. maybe bixenon would be nice, but unneccesary.

 

They have one on is300, the only thing they do is give you check light/warning light when you lower your car.

it's a simple sensor with two swing arms, one set in the Driver front and one for the driver rear

 

If I'm towing my tire trailer for a track day, the tongue weight is enough to really piss off people I'm driving towards....

 

Load that puppy with the heavy stuff at the back of the trailer.

 

The Aussie's have self leveling headlights standard, but no cruise control. Go figure.

Some Euro cars where sold without Air conditioning. It just depends on what Honda decides the market gets.

 

Mike, are you finding that much deflection with the trailer hitch attached to your trailer? Interesting. Sounds like self-leveling lights would be helpful in this case.
