you guys should stop being so defensive. while, im not sure what the OP meant, it would be nice if someone made a different looking headlight while retaining the oem top notch projector lens. the s2k stock headlight looks a bit low tech imo.

The S2000 headlights may LOOK cool, but as far as illuminating the road, they are complete and utter crap. From behind the wheel, I'll take my Accord headlights over the S2000's any night. Trying to drive the S2000 at night on a curvy mountain road is like russian roulette. The HID's cut off so sharp you can't see shit if the road curves upwards, and the high beams are like two kiddie flashlights pointing directly ahead, offering barely any additional forward visibility and zero additional sideways visibility.
In comparison, the high beams on my Accord are like supernovas. Bam! Daylight!

The S2000 low beam projectors is consistently rated in the top 3 low beam HID projectors made. It must be your eyes because I've driven the tail of the dragon (most curvy road in the country) at night in the S2000, highbeams on and had no problem seeing through the curves and dips.

I can deal with body kits on S2000's, but the day I see people putting aftermarket lights on their S2000's is the day I sell the car and save up for an NSX. Oh Brother.
I've already started saving for an NSX.

You must have some good Accord headlights because compared to my stock 93 civic's headlights the S2000 low beams are about 10X brighter and wider!
