You cant use LED turn signals in an S2000 without major work. The voltage is wrong, and it will hiperblink. Youll need resistors, and since you asked the question, you wont be able to do it.

Forget it. Just clear the lenses and keep the stock bulb. The stocks are clear.

They will work, but they will blink fast (hyperblink....really annoying inside and outside of the car). I think you are not understanding something.....the STOCK BULBS are CLEAR! They are NOT orange.

You will NOT have a reflection of any kind if you have a diffuser and a stock bulb. Do you see any reflections in my headlights? No, and they are stock bulbs. Also, parking lights ARE NOT the same as turn signals. They are seperate bulbs, in which case LEDs WILL WORK. Get the PIAA LED 168 bulbs, they are the brightest.

Also, the link you provided, that place blows. RIP OFF isnt even the word. Go to www.superbrightleds.com. MUCH better site.

If you want it blink orange and keep that clear/chrome look, they (not sure who) make a bulb that blinks orange/amber but looks like a chrome bulb.

Lovin' the painting housing on the AP2 lights. Looks great!


Of course, I am a bit biased.
