Default intresting s2000

I saw this picture awhile ago



EDIT
wanted to add a pic of my car here for a side by side comparison with the blue one


EDIT

and I told myself if I ever get front end damage, I want to go for this look at least for a season. Well, yesterday like a dumbass, I damaged my fender so I figure instead of going into a panic mode looking for mint silverstone fenders, I'll just take them off for the time being, buy someones damaged bumper for cheap, and have at it! Then it's no rush to fix my existing fender or wait until some nice ones come along and purchase those so I have the ability to turn the car back to stock when/if I decide to move on. I'm just a little confused about the headlights. I'd like to use the OEM hid bulbs, but I couldn't find any round lights that accept the OEM d2s bulbs.. Not to mention the highbeams. So I was thinking about getting a pair of lights like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/H4-5-Round-U...ebbc07&vxp=mtr (not sure if 5 or 7 inch would be better. 7 seems more common on ebay) and try to modify them to fit. Or I could try to get non HID bulbs to work which I'm not sure how to go about doing that. So I'd appreciate some input on setting up lights like this that would work. Thanks!

In all honesty, that looks BADASS! Very Caterham-esque.

yep screams caterham to me. Loved it when I first saw it. Only pic of it I know. Their needs to be more s2ks like this. I think I may be able to execute it cleaner which is why I really want to figure out the lighting situation so I can get started on this.

looking at these lights now. cheap and seem quality! http://www.ebay.com/itm/WAGNER-H6024...856887&vxp=mtr just wondering If I will be able to get the stock HID bulbs to fit. Then I will need to make brackets to mount them

Why would you mount HID's in reflector housings? Not only is it illegal, but it's annoying as hell, and a nuisance to other drivers.

If you're going to do it, do it right (I'm not sure how I can say that as you're considering making a disaster out of your car simply for the fact that you've damaged a fender)

But for the sake of everyone else on the road, do not put HID's in reflector housings.

If you're going to put hardware store floodlights on your car, do the rest of us a favor and take the time to run new wires that bypass the ballast to normal 12v headlight bulbs.

ok just want to say everything I'm doing is easily reversible and I have 100% intentions of putting the car back to stock in time. Now I know not to use HID bulbs in reflector housings. Ok that's fine. At the same time, I have a pair of RX330 projectors I could use. I just don't know if the bulb connectors would fit the harness from the s2k - doubt it
