I'd love to read up on each individual test, but it looks like you need to be a subscriber to get at the details.

Interesting read. They say the Audi TT's HIDs are rather poor and the Mazda Protege5 halogens bettering some OEM HID setups.

I wonder how the S2000 headlights stack up?

I was really impressed with my TT's HIDs. I thought they were brighter than my S2K. They seemed to be less colorfull, more white light. I like the color spectrum of the S2k projectors though.

the colors the s2k HID's give off are amazing. whenever my friends and i are cruising on a street and we arrive at the destination, they always mention how sweeet looking the hids are. some even go as far as saying they're the best looking hid's out there.

I remember hearing/reading that the S2k's hids are the brightest out there.

yea, im almost to the point where i can tell what kind of car it is at night by looking at the HID's on the car. I think the BMW HID's and our Honda are the best looking out there

I have HID's in my Passat and concur - the S2K's are better - sharper edges for sure.
