The trick is to take the LED shots in early dusk lighting with an SLR and you get a perfect shot. This is my IS-F setup:




and I just finished my NSX setup

 

Sex!

 

Ever since I first saw an audi R8 concept I've always wanted to do this to my S...

Whats stopped me is the cost primarily, but also I've only seen really tiny LED's like the ones on the IS and even the NSX above.

I want the big huge looking LED's like on the Audi's, or on the S2000 that angelmotorsport posted

My concept:

 

Starbai, your idea is not new....I've been toying with this idea for a while now and even went to the Audi dealer and bought a pair of the S6 DRL assemblies which were bank $$$.

There is a reason why Audi lights are larger and it has NOTHING to do with the LED size. Take a look at the picture below where we cut out the parts to study it. Audi uses a series of intricate mirrors and special circuits to to create the light output we all see on the road. To do this for a one time deal would not be possible. The cost is just too high.

My original plan was to take the S6 assemblies, cut holes in my AP2 bumper and mold them into area right below the headlight. This proved not possible because the assembly is too deep and will protrude into the front tire wheel wells.

I've got a few more ideas that I may try on my new GPW but not sure how keen I am to cut holes since I just had my entire front end clear bra'd.

check out these pics (again anything is possible if you want to pay but most s2000 owners do not have this kind of budget)

here's the lense in stock form before we did any surgery:


all the parts removed:


here you can see the LED's are quite small but it's the mirrors that give it the focused bright light:

 

Yeah I figured those R8 LEDs had to be a bit pricey. That's why it look so nice and stands out soo much in the daytime.

 

That looks good for about 5mins ...plz don't do this to anymore poor S2000s they cant defend themselves ....but all in all gotta say it does look different , which dare I say it ....kinda looks hot .

 

....so make up your mind??!

for me-it looks good, it makes the front end stand out at night, and who cares if its an audi thing..half the time theirs short out before the car even leaves the lot.

 

for you guys running the line of lights like on the ISF, is that custom or did you buy Js or amuze and mounted?

 

here's the lights I just finished installing on my own GPW
