It was more like 4-6 feet from a wall and its a very accurate way to take a photo.

The S2K projectors are fine and all, but I'd actually say the halogens on my mark IV jetta are better.

None of your posts or quotes of mine prove misinformation. Its all subjective to taste. So my statements ring completely true to me, they're as valid as anyone's opinions.

You cannot prove one headlight better than another, because people are looking for different things in headlights. Some people might want headlights that act like 2 huge flash lights shining straight down the road. I could care less in my headlights have a 180deg sweep and Im not alone. They are a fine option, and I can guarantee the light output is sufficient to constitute a working headlights so they are very valid. Who's to say I even drive at night. A lot of people only drive in the summer and dont drive after dark so they might not even care if they work that well.
Good post, but again brightness is objective.

What someone likes is subjective. Because you don't care about wide angle lighting, makes that subjective.

They're true to you because you're ignorant. This is not a personal attack.

Again, subjectively, that's what you like. Objectively, S2000 projectors are one of the widest and brightest low beam only OEM projectors.

actually, if memory serves me right, the SC430 and S2000 projectors perform quite similar

the LS430 is the king of single xenon projectors though

I've had a TSX retro and then an AP1 retro. AP1 > all projectors in the same SIZE-CATEGORY

LS430s are huge
Ls430 is definitely wider than s2000s. But they have a reflector section which makes the projector huge.
If you take off the reflector section, it's exactly like the sc430

But the only circle that conciders them the best out there is this one and the civic fan boys.
Oh, how could I forget this misinformation?

Your limited understanding of the term "bright" is unsettling.

Widest... since when was it good to take light from where it is needed and put it off to the sides?

Again, if the S2K projector is so good and has been the "best" for over 10 years, why arent auto manufacturers putting them in place of their projectors.

I completely agree with JS2k. He's not saying this just to back up his products or w/e.
I've been a member on HIDPLANET.com for over 4 years and have done a retrofit on my previous car (240sx).

The reason why some people go for the TSX's are mainly because of cost. The TSX's are cheaper in comparison to S2000s and provide almost the same amount of light.

Your pictures are useless. I've already discussed this. Unless you have a side by side comparison where both beams are compared on the same image, a night shot is completely useless. A couple milliseconds of one image over another is going to make one look better than the other.
