I'm was just curious to ask if MY04 owners notice any difference in the HID lighting on your new S2000's. I remember someone saying there might be a difference in color and angle. Is it still bright white with a purple tint? Is the projector cutoff still sharp as a needle? Is it still angled the same?

Thanks Liem.

I dunno about the old one but my new 04 is so freaking bright the and ranges it covered is amazing, definitely one of the best I've seen. The cutoff is very sharp and the cutoff point is purple-ish.

I figure that Honda would advertise any changes, since it would be just another reason for buyers to get the car or pre-2004 model owners to "trade up."

I would also expect a price increase on the car if they made any major changes. Seems like most everything is cosmetic, except for the engine. And the engine is a give and take.

... and the beefed up tranny/clutch, strengthened chassis, revamped suspension, larger wheels/wider tires and new brake pads. But other than that, yeah, it's mostly just the new motor and cosmetic changes
