The s2000 headlights are VERY VERY expensive. Around $500 per side.

I remember trying to get s2000 projectors to retrofit into a civic and it was $$$$.

The reason is because the s2k's projectors are HID and use a real HID Projector lens that has the 2nd widest beam on the market (opposed to a halogen projector lens that creates lots of glare and hotspots), not to mention the cutoff is amazing.

People WANT s2000 headlights as THEIR "aftermarket" because as a package theres really nothing you can do to improve on them.

I highly doubt those aftermarket headlight companies will or can produce something that looks better that will function better while at the same time turning a profit.
