I'd pay good money, however to swap out for the same lights, but in color-matched housings with brightwork rings around each lamp (sort of the Jensen CV-8 look). Same for the taillights. This would integrate better with the rest of the car.

Hate to derail this fascinating conversation, but has anyone tried 6000K HID bulbs in their headlights? I know Joey @ JS2K is selling them, just ordered a pair but interested to see if anyone has tried them.
I couldn't notice any difference in illumination, when I had them only in 1 headlight for comparison. However, any bulb with more color (higher temperature in K) will be less bright.
They add a slight amount of blue to the output. They're definitely no where near the blues you see on most HID kits

why would anyone in their right mind DOWNGRADE their headlights?
the s2000 has one of the best and most sought after single xenon projectors out there
You're going to be losing a lot of light output. Those shitty ebay headlights probably use projectors made in china
please dont rice out your cars
can those ebay projectors output light this wide or far? I didn't think so
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this simply isn't true. Almost all HID projectors I've ever seen or owned have had the exact same harsh cut-off and I can't say that angle is that much more impressive.
Your picture looks really good, but its a picture and irrelivant (the human eye cannot collect light for 20 seconds to collect a single image). Im not saying these headlights have good HID's, they might be total shite. But the S2000 HID's arent very saught after at all, I couldnt find anyone that wanted them for their projectors.
