    Thank you. No these are 2007 S2000 ap2 projectors with clear lens upgrade. It's so crisp and clear.

    Here's how the beam of the projectors look. They are quite impressive.

    Forgive me for underestimating your abilities, for I am highly impressed with your fine taste for superior low beam lighting. Please, at your earliest convince, upload a photograph showing the exquisite light distribution of your s2k projectors on a white wall or other similar surface, so that I may admire their beauty.

    Thank you! I'm so very happy that there's actually someone on here that can admire the great qualities of other manufacturers product. Normally on a Toyota board when I say "Honda" the immediate response is something prejudice.

    I'll take another wide shot in a few days

    You snuck a picture in there while I was posting! Nice.

    But no, we don't care about Toyota or Honda, anything goes. But especially with those projectors, you're definitely talking my language. The S2ks are the best low beam in existence.

    Lol no... Single beam only. VTEC versions are called Bixenon projectors

    Cool stuff. That's why I'm sticking around this site. Information can actually be shared with having open minds.
    Yeah, I've been looking for another set for the Corolla but there isn't much room behind the housings. Might just
    Go Morimoto Mini projectors.

    The Morimotos are easy, so most people use them. They are decent if you need a quick bixenon.

    Yeah... I'll probably cave in and just buy another set of AP2 projectors. I want to spend hours driving at night now
    because of these projectors lol

    Yes I am.

    The problem is that I scrolled down too fast and didn't see Hummer's post. I thought the "ORLY" was ment for me. Whoops

    Thanks Mack!

    Yeah, Silver wasn't my first choice but I got it from the good ole Original old lady owner. Still has the window sticker too and a lot of service records. All it needed was the usual struts, brakes and exhaust leak at the manifold donut
