can u guys post some video or pics of how the HID's on the s2000's look

 

Well, see, in Gran Tourismo 3 they look pretty bluish. But I'm not sure if they have HID stock here in the US.

 

they have them in the U.S

 

Here's one I found on the S2KI site. I will try and get one of mine tonight and yes they are blueish around the edges.

 

thats nice thanks I think s2000 HID's are nicer than any bimmers or audi's.

 

Here are two I took tonight.
First at top edge of light, second at ground level.

 

WOW I never knew the s2000 had such nice HIDS. I'm not a big fan of the acura hids but the s2k hids are sweet! My favorite HIDS are Audis and BMWs

 

S2000 HID projectors are some of the best out there, better than Audi and BMW IMHO.

And BTW USDM S2000's come standard w/ HID. JDM S2000's come with halogen projectors and no orange insert standard (not even sure if you can get HID on the JDM cars).

 

s2k have the coolest HID kits I think. Anybody ever fit one to an integra?!?

 

my contribution ...

 

 

some old pics

 

vapor nice car and bike

 

not s2k, but JDM OEM ITR projector's and s2k projector's are the same so that i'd share

 

thank you

 

Anyone have pics like zer0zer0 TypeR's?

S2K HID's have always look the best to me.

BMW looks very nice too.

 

heres one....

right after i put the wheels on, so looks kinda jacked up?!?

 

I just like seeing the horizon with the HIDs, any one know the code and brand for the stock s2k hids?

 

damn... no hids+projectors produce the beauty that the s2k's produce...

 

first thought: don't know where you live, but hid equipped cars are pretty damn common nowadays and driving at night in the s2000 is a non-issue. and them drivers aren't getting annoyed cuz the lights are aimed too high.. it's the blinking effect that's making them think we're high beaming them... maybe it's your driving in your yellow pimpmobile?

second thought: the auto leveling feature in them bimmas and audis do not adjust by nanosecond intervals to accomodate for any bobbing up and down that a car does when driving on roads both bumpy and smooth in order to avoid blinging the schmidt out of oncoming drivers. all it does is when you have fat asses in the back seat, it levels down a bit so it's not pointing any higher than when you don't have fat asses in the back seat. nothing fancy there. and given that the s2000 doesn't have back seats and most people don't carry a load of crap in the trunk (you really can't since it's so small), no need to hike up the price of the car for a feature that does not apply.

the reason why the s2000's bling effect is more annoying is that fact that we're riding on a stiff *** suspension and the projector lens itself is unlike any other (at least that i know of).
-philips lens (not diffused / bmw uses hella, audi valeo projectors both diffused for US use / i've also noticed porsche litronics use diffused lenses in the US as well.)
-big *** mitsubishi ballasts
-whatever else they decided to do with it

the auto-level on the bmws, audi, Mercedes is not just for excess weight in the rear like you said. Ever drive up a hill and notice at the peak/crest of the hill you are blinding not only oncoming traffic but the people driving in front you? Auto-level corrects for that too, by aiming the lights down. And the early models of the BMW X5 equipped with HIDs w/auto-level were so quick at auto-leveling that they did actually adjust for bumps and dips in the roads. The adjustment was soo bad that the driver and passengers would feel nausiated from the effect of the seesawing lights.

 

can you show us official bmw/audi literature that confirms what you've just posted? that it actually adjusts that quickly to accomodate for hills and crests, but not regular undulations in roads? would be appreciated.

regardless of whether it does or not, the HIDs on bmws and audis on hills/crests are just as blinding as any other projector based headlights out there including the s2000's.

 

What color temperature are stock S2000 HIDs?

 

4300k

 

you should visit the bimmer boards and MB boards and do a search and you will have your proof from owners of the cars. I only mentioned the early model of the BMW X5 equipped with HIDs w/ auto-level that had the crazy auto-level mechanism that over corrected. Why didn't you hear about it? BMW was quick to fix that and the story was only told on a little thread that quickly dissappeared to the bottom. Anyways, you said the auto-level is only good for when there is extra load in the rear tilting the front of the car, I said you were wrong about that. If you want hardcore proof, go test drive one or hop in a buddies car that has this feature or hop into your friend's parents' car. Whatever that will float your boat.
