Default Most noticeable thing about the s2000

I finally got to take the car out after nearly two months sitting in my garage from an unfortunate string of tire blowouts one after the other, the first thing I feel I appreciate most as soon as I start the car are lights. I know most people would say the engine eor the gearbox or the awesome seats or even the fit. But really as soon as I got in, turned the key and switched on the headlights, the incredible light output made me smile most. It's just so sharp and bright. Anyone else feel the same? This might just be a rant bc I'm happy to have the car back lol

Actually, I've seen the bulbs go for just over $100.

S2000 has one of the best single xenon projectors ever produced

AP1 > AP2v1 > AP2v2 in terms of projectors

the 04-05 and 06+ use the same projectors, but the 06+ have fresnel lenses

AP1s are just straight up better than all
