HID's S2000 vs JDM ITR
Is it me or are the S2000's much brighter? i was behind one tonite and noticed a sharp white light compared to my duller yellow light... I had the OEM fogs on, but it still did not compare to the S2000's... are they a higher K level or are they just plain stronger?

the s2k's suspension is so stiff, lots of times when I was on the freeway and s2K drives up, the lights would go up and down so much that everysingle time it pass me, I guess it's a riceup civic of something cheap passing me then you see it's an S2000, and I'm like oh man, Honda should put self leveling on them... so bad...

It really depends on a few things, but the most important thing is the age of the bulbs.
For one to say that an S2000's headlights look (insert color here) and BMW's hids look (insert color here) is wrong.
As you use your HID's, overtime the lumens will decrease. Also, after many hours (100-500+ hours) the bulbs will "colorshift" to more of a colorful light. (more blues/purples, less yellows/whites).
I did a comparo with my bro's setup and mine using new and old bulbs. The differences were staggering.
