If you already have AP2 headlights its no biggie, but if you have AP1's its going to cost you a grand to get some AP2 and a couple hundred more to have them opened up and have these put in.
Im not in love with the ebay lights, but they are a good option.

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.
sorry to break it to you, but you don't know anything about HIDs

yeah, go ahead and buy those ebay lights
especially those chrome ones LOL LOL
I sell HID retrofits for other vehicles. I've gone through about 3 different aftermarket projectors in coming up with what I would concider the best and I've compared them all to the stock S2K projector. They're all basically the same.
Do YOU know how an HID projector works? Didnt think so.
If you do, I'd love to hear your opinion. Explain to me the geometrical differences in the lenses and eliptical reflectors and the impact they have on light output and what is unique about the S2K components that make them better and why other manufacturers would purposely use a lower performing design when a better one is available at no extra cost.

I have an extremely hard time believing that you sell retrofits, when you think S2000 projectors are the same as ebay projectors. In addition, you say "S2000 HID's" when you actually mean S2000 projectors or S2000 headlights.
From the many headlights and projectors I've sold, S2000 projectors are the EASIEST to sell. Even TSX (04-05 with clear lens) headlights aren't as easy to sell, even though they have a smaller and shallower mounting depth with similar light output.
Angle? Considering low beam only projectors, they have the widest spread other than the SC430. SC430 projectors, however, don't have the color like the S2000 projectors. S2000 projectors light up a 4 lane highway 180 degrees!
Harsh (sharp) cutoff? Most definitely. That's why so many people love the S2000 headlights. They throw out HUGE amounts of light on the ground under the cutoff! I don't understand why people want light above the cutoff with fresnal lenses. If you need to see something above the cutoff, use your high beams. That's what they're made for.
Plus with the S2000 projectors, when you're going over a bumpy road, the color flickers like a rainbow to oncoming drivers.
I can ALWAYS tell when there's an S2000 coming the opposite direction because of the light show.
I checked out a buddy's set of 'projectors' on his aftermarket headlights on his RSX. The output was utter crap and put out less light than the stock headlights. Suffice to say, he put his stock headlights back on.
Every other aftermarket projector is just as bad except for X website (TRS) that builds their projectors based on existing projectors.
That same company also creates clear lenses for many projector applications that have fresnal lenses to reduce the amount of light above the cutoff and achieve the sharp cutoff with lots of color and even more usable light below the cutoff.

I have to considering how much S2ki charges me a month.
