I live in a very very uneven part of the country and i am always amazed at these headlights on the S2000. They're GREAT for everything but my town, in the city, great, on the highway, great, in my town they suck. The european headlight leving system sounds like it might be the answer to my problem which is, during spirited driving down back roads with hills and turns, when going down a slope your feild of view is cut right in front of you, you have to switch on the highs, which are slightly yellow (any fix?) any info on this leveling system an price would be appriciated.

Several board members have investigated this thoroughly for the US market and have determined that it's just not feasible to adapt the European leveling system for US cars.

 

why would honda not sell it on our car's? We've got hills too... This is a dangerous situation for me, i can't see beyond the line the low beams make so bright and i'm afraid i'm gonna blind someone with the highs.

 

I had a friend in Switzerland purchase a leveling-motor for me to use with a set of European headlight housings:



The motor is part of a system with a rear-mounted level that adjusts the aim of the headlights during rear weight changes... like when you carry heavy packages in the trunk. This is not a dynamic leveling system for bumps in the road but a "trip-long" leveling system that moves the aim down quickly but not that quickly... and then returns the aim to their "normal" position when the suspension is returned to normal (that heavy package is removed"

While you might say "how could I fit that much stuff in the trunk to weigh the car down enough to change the light's aim" but it is a European DOT law that all cars with HID lighting systems must have this dynamic light aim adjusting system...

 

thankyou for specifying. I thought less of bumps and more of hill's and such, like going downhill the headlight's would aim higher to see further, and going uphill they would point down so as not to blind a driver in oncoming traffic. But if it work's off the suspension and not a level than it does me no good. Thankyou very much

You can get hyper white light bulbs for you high beams (White light instead of yellow color!); they are just H1 light bulbs.
MG Racing (Tim) has them or many auto stores like NOPI carries them too!

 

The headlamp leveling system only makes an appreciable difference to the headlamps when you've a heavy load in the boot - in then lowers the beams correctly. I've not found it to improve country driving at all - I ended up uprating my main beam bulbs which does help when I'm out in the country.

I guess b/c HIDs are so bright and the last thing they need is for them to be pointing right at Oncoming Traffic...
Always wondering why the newer cars there acutally Line where the beam stops..it sucks.. Installed Xenons in my headlights...look almost Identical to S2000s although they are more white than Blue.
Hope I don't get bashed for being a Ricer

 

is there any way to purchase these auto leveling motors? I have an EDM headlamp and my lights are pointed downwards due to the gap where the motors should be..
