you are right about the car losing value quickly so that only means one thing for me time to upgrade to an nsx.
NSX guys were talking about angel eyes EIGHT years ago.

I'll buy your OEM honda headlights when you downgrade your car to these headlights!
Everyone says downgrade, but I'm seeing much proof. Common knowledge is aftermarket is sometimes an upgrade over stock.

Rice. I'm all for customization but OEM lighting should never be touched unless its switching to a USDM/EDM/JDM setup or an actual output upgrade that improves output at night - (i.e., installing HID projecters/ballasts in a car that doesn't offer them) and even then its tricky.

Lighting is very much a defining part of a cars design.

Damn young people getting older and getting decent jobs. What a disaster

(I'm one of them by the way, but don't worry. You won't find any ricey parts on my car.)

jlude, buy my headlights for 400 so I can pick up a set of those ebays. One side has a broken tab, both are foggy, and the non broken tab side had water in it so its slightly rusty.

wow so everyone is all of sudden a supporter of cheap tacky looking aftermarket parts? well i don't care if anyone puts it on their car, but it'll only make their car look cheap and ricey which is fine with me.

replicas are not the same either...at least they look like the parts they are imitating. these headlights just make the car look like a del sol. sorry if i offended anyone.

i noticed the last couple days the advertising on top of the site has the white s2k with the rice "angel eyes" on them and they just had to be blue to top it off..

so whoever that wanted these "aftermarket" lights to be made for our cars, i guess they got their wish i guess it's all down hill from here folks...cars getting cheaper + rice parts being manufactured + the younger crowd getting older making more money = disaster
I totally respect everyone opinion about parts we all put on our cars. The S2000 is a awesome car, at the same time though it is indeed a car. Many of us on this site have non OEM parts on our car, and also have non name brand parts as well.

I would like to see proof that these lights are indeed crap. To some they make look cheap, but you never know how long they may last, and the quality of them.

I need two new headlights for my car, one has scratch and the other one a broken tab. I think my guy at the dealer can get them for 390.00 a piece.. I may just go with AP2 ones, but these look really decent too. I have not made a decision what I want to do.

Until there are tests we need people to keep a open mind with all new parts on the market. Also del sol, civic, integra's, they all are pretty cheap, at least these cost a decent amount, but I am sure it is because they're new to the market. Staying closed minded will never help our community grow.

For instance I love Toyota cars, I have had 12 Supra's and I swear by them, but I wanted to try something new, I moved up into a S2K. People's ideas are what make our car what it is, and new and better parts will be made for our cars, it just takes people awhile to except certain products.


/Rant - ill shut up now.
