Do the LED's get overpowered by the HID's? This definitley looks neat. I'm still up in the air about s4plays audi look.

Yes, I would say the HIDs 'overpower' these LEDs. But they still present themselves in an 'accent' fashion from a head-on view. Where I'm most pleased with them is that, as typically I've been an HIDs-on daytime driver as long as I've driven the S2000, I can now enjoy driving during the day only with the parking/running lights on...and these LEDs are sharp

. So I'll also be saving the 'lifespan' of my HIDs by not running them during the daytime.

Very cool.

It would suck to have an LED burn out though! Hope I didn't jinx you.

... But all jokin' aside, LEDs typically have a fine shelf-life. I'll be more concerned with how the strip's adhesiveness and the 'gel' strip itself hold up to HID heat output. And I'll know that soon enough - a full month of running with the HIDs on should test that concern out.
