I am going to sell them at prices much cheaper than the sites listed here. :)
I should have pics within a week.
You can go here in the meantime: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=760224

Installed the LEDs from the 2 links I mentioned above to all 3 locations plate/trunk/dome.

Compared to stock - color is white, intensity is brighter, and visibility is better. Beam pattern dispersion is diffused appropriately despite being LED, thanks to the scattering lens.

The LED board lights in my experience work very well. They're not exactly drop-in replacements but very easy to install and they provide very even, dispersed illumination since they have 6 LED's on each board. Additionally, for dome, trunk and license plate applications the LED's are actually pointing down instead of to the side (as is the case with most drop-in replacements). They are pricier than options listed above though.

Depending on what you're looking for they may actually be too bright. Here are some photos (that have been posted to other LED threads as well):

That's exactly what I got. I'll use the pair for the license plate and the trunk. I wanted a white color that closely matches our HIDs (not bluish white or ricey blue) so this seemed to fit the bill...

Got this for the interior dome...

How many did you buy?

I'm guessing 1 package from Go Tuning and 2 from the jdm toy place?

Just 1 order of each.

The Go Tuning package has 2 3-LED bulbs (I think it's 3) (1 for the plate, 1 for the trunk). The bulb lens is designed to diffuse the light appropriately.

The iJDMTOY package has 2 6-LED boards (1 for each side of the dome housing).

In all 3 applications, the new LEDs are brighter and whiter than stock, and they diffuse the beams well.

Appreciated - definitely think it's a nice touch to the car :thumbup:

I was just looking at the image on jdmtoy and saw the one unit, read further and saw where it said the package included a pair of lights.

Np. When you're approaching your car at night and you hit the unlock button, the interior looks bright (assuming you have the dome light switch set to the middle position).

[QUOTE=s2kdriver80,Mar 15 2010, 06:17 PM] That's exactly what I got.

And since the light from these LEDs are bright white, it appears and could pass as OEM to an S2000-ignorant person. Not ricey like the blues where usable visibility is actually diminished. They look good and improve functionality at the same time. :thumbup:

Please post pics of both cabin and rear plate area. Looking into this mod. Tired of the yellow in cabin lights...

I'll try to get some up tonight or tomorrow. But the results appear close to how takeshi's lights look like in his photos above.
