Hi guys,

I saw this s2000 with LED lights on a US forum:

What do you think to the LEDs? Personally I hate these stripe style aftermarket LEDs on almost all cars because I think it cheapens them and makes them look tacky.

I don't like the LEDs in the headlights - too Audi wannabee but like the ones on the grille.

What do you think?

It's a very personal thing, like like taste in alloy wheels, spoilers, etc.

Personally I think they look pretty good but I think I'd have one or the other, not both.

Also personally, I don't understand it when people say it's like an Audi wanabee thing, or that "halo" headlights are wanting to be like a BMW. Merc are coming out with similar lights on their new cars, and other manufacturers will follow in due course. If another car has a feature that you think is cool, then wanting that feature on your own car surely just means you want the cool thing too, not that you want to be just like the other car ? Not having a go here, just putting in my 2p's worth Wink

Think if it was just the headlights then yes it looks good, but not the ones under the bumper?

The thing with the S2000 is its a cool car anyway and has very clean lines, so think the headlights will work well as it follows those lines and doesn't look like you've stuck some led's on for the fun of it? :wink:
