Wow i just got the new bulbs in. They are twice as large as the original led I Ordered. These might be too bright!! I will have pics up next week, once I get my car back from the shop.

will it fit inside the difuser/cover or does that distort the light?
pics! pics! pics!

... I hate what the s2000 has right now anyways since whenever the car is parked angled forward you can see the unsightly metal exposed under the plate frame. I plan on building a nice ABS shield for it anyways so stay tuned!

Was the cover on when you took those pics? I can't tell from the looks of it.
It looks a lot better IMO. I saw a GS last night and can totally tell a difference between his car and the car behind him and how yellow/dim the non LED lights are. Can't wait to see how much brighter the Supermegagalactic-nova LED's are.
i wish you had your car too! I'll also try to get a before and after shot when I get the bulbs!

Pikka,
sorry to hear about your little incident. i know i've had a couple of moments where i goosed the throttle a little too soon, or vtec kicked in a bit harder than i thought, etc. never had anything really bad happen, but did end up with a wheel in someone's front lawn once, just missing a monster curb...
so, i can understand the feeling. hopefully, she'll be back as good as new and soon!
yeah, my HondaCare battle was a learning experience. i knew it was always going to be a bit of a risk (modding the car), but hadn't had issuess previously b/c my dealer always took care of me. either or -- i'm glad to be up and running again, and not $4000 poorer.
ok -- so the mega-Nova's seem way bigger? i'm not looking to blind those behind me
, so i may just grab the 5 bulb version you had. the pics look great, and i think they really pair off well w/ the HID's. i might just look into the reverse lights as well... since i'd be going in anyway.
thanks for the great research.

*update*
ordered the 5 LED matrix 194 super white, 2 of the 15 LED matrix 7440 super white for reverse lights, and finally getting some proper amber LED's for front parking lights 5 LED matrix 194 amber.
after clearing years ago, i had installed amber incadesents (sp?), but they faded to white w/in months of putting them in. hopefully, this will give me nice legal appearing front parking lights.
site looks a little shady, but hoping that i have the same success Pikka did.
after looking though, i would doubt the supernova LED. it doesn't seem to have the same dispersal pattern as the 5 LED matrix, so i went w/ the 5 LED matrix for the plate light.
*crosses fingers*
i'll post pics when everything arrives, and i get them installed.

Kinda on topic....but the GS also has what i believe is called a vanity light?
anyway its a white LED or two which shines on the shifter area at night...its not bright enough to distract the driver but ads just enough light in the cabin.
I bought a white LED and holder and drilled a hole where the current map lights are, i just have to run a wire up to it from the illumination signal in the car......should be pretty neat (the S is very dark inside at night with no street lights around....)
also i need to find the correct resistor, because the white LED is a 3.6 volt led and will burnout on a 12v circuit......
