I'd like to add additional driving lights, preferably in the fake duct area of the bumper. Anyone find anything that works without looking to much like an add on? Any other ideas? I know most people will find the S2K lights fine on their own, but I don't have the best night vision and find myself using the high beams fairly often.

I understand there is a setup from Hella (HID fog lights) that can be installed into the fake brake ducts. It's gonna be $$$$$$$ though. Just the lights itself retails for almost $800.

At least for me the car has plenty of lighting. I do plan to turn the fake ducts into real brake cooling.

I might be interested in those too. If anyone knows where to find them let me know.

I will vouch for PIAA. Great product, but not cheap.

I've been looking for fogs too, so if anyone comes across something that fits, please let me know, or post something. In frustration at not being able to find anything suitable, I was considering mounting lights inside the front grill, so they're not too visible.

To switch the lights on/off, I would probably buy a new cruise control switch and install it in the spare switch slot to the right of the steering wheel. However, the (cruise control) switch might not be able to take the current draw; if not, it should be easy enough to use the switch to activate a suitable relay instead.

Talk to Ron Klumpp at Haas Entertainment. They have the info on the fogs. In case you're worried about quality, some of Haas' regular customers are Shaq and Kobe. Their work has been featured in magazines. Very very professional and clean job.

310-641-4700, they're located in Culver City. Tell them that the guy who had air horns installed in his S2000 a few weeks ago sent you.

Ive also been considering something some sort of drving light solution. not to augment the HIDs, but to use as DRLs so that I can be more easily spotted during the day without using the blinding force of the HIDs.

It should be easy if I could find some surface/flush mount lights that I could mount to fabricated blanks in the place of the fake vents. With a 3position switch in the blank under and to the right of the steering wheel (thats where the headlight washer switch goes, right?). 3 postions: On, Off and Auto (ignition but not headlights). Maybe even make it modular enough to be able to swap out some brake ducts for track days.
