I’ve got a JDM version of a G20 with factory Xenon reflector lights which I’m planning to do an S2000 retro on real soon. Although I realise there are easier and perhaps better performing stuff now available, I’m old school at heart and always wanted to have a nice set of low beams.
If you can't find S2000 projectors. Just get a set of SC430 and swap out the lens with a 1992 Z300 lens and you have the same output as a S2000. Been doing it for years. Great video.
Damn I love the gatlin gun projector. And I remember back in the day on the prelude groups the TSX was a great cheap projector but the S2K was like you said the hands down best out there
When are you guys putting up the schooling? Do you address how many amps a headlight should take in and give out? Or do you explain all that? I’m wondering if there’s a thing as adding too many leds and it draws too many amps causing short circuit or something... does the program you were talking about before address all this?
S2000 has the best combination of beam pattern and intensity. S2000 don’t have the best intensity because their beam spread out evenly. The widest projector is ls430. The brightest projector that I known so far is NHK G5 EXL but it has no width. Best LED I know that is also brighter than s2000 but not even close in width or foreground lighting is Morimoto Mled 2.0. But overall best projector is still the S2000.
It's crazy how the algorithms work on the Internet. I watched the video of that gs300 with the auto adjusting Q45 projectors, and this video popped up.
The S2000 is the absolute performance choice. Now, believe it or not, this is the first time I am seeing the output from the Q45. I always wondered how they looked due to the fact that there are that many lenses. To me, multiple cut-off lines on more than 1 horizontal plain is headache-inducing. If I had to imagine what it would be like.before this video, I would have thought that each lens was layered as "fill" lights with the top lenses dedicated to shape the cut-off, and the others below to give support and fill in what the top lenses are limited in doing. Pretty much as I thought of the Morimoto XB range for the F150 and others just like it where 4 projectors are stacked over each other. I was wrong about that too. Now that I have seen them as well as the jewel eyes, I can't imagine why anyone would pursue them for a retrofit other than to exemplify the art form of retrofitting. For style and appearance, I'd likely choose the jewel eyes. You'll never see me driving around with outputs such as the jewel eyes and the and the Q45. Never!
I love my Q45. 1 thing I hate though is going to ALKQ or a pull apart lot and someone has destroyed a perfectly good headlight just so they can get the projector out of it. Our cars are rare enough that we have idiots I hear destroying headlights just to get the projector. It's sad they need to start looking towards after market.
As far as a “Wow” factor in a custom headlight build I think the jewel eye wins. If you’re going for performance, the S2000 has it all day from this test.
I've seen how to convert regular old-school lights to the retrofit style. But how do you convert halogen projectors to with this same style performance? Do you just simply upgrade the factory bulbs to the upgraded bulbs with the hid kids? Or is there another method to replacing the whole housing?
out of the ones presented s2k no matter what. but I would add rx330 (non-afs and afs), rx350, TL, fx35... especially if moded with a clear lens and custom shield as it was standard in the golden era of retrofits and not PNP kits :) !
can you do a comparison with what morimoto is doing with their leds and projector retrofits? ive had their 2stroke 3.0 led bulbs on 3 cars and i love them
I'm would like to have my TSX projectors redone so they have a really dark blue and heavy cut off off line, I have tried myself but I need someone like you to get the look I want. Do you think we could do business?
Hello FlyRyde! This is Nove from AISKITS, I watched your channel it’s really exciting and impressive. This is a newly launched LED headlight! You can see this LED headlight, is not cool？it is our latest development of a product! In the United States, there are many classic cars, they are our closest partners! Now they may need some upgrades to accompany us better. Replacing and upgrading our headlights does more than making driving safer. They improve the look of your vehicle as well as its performance. LED bulbs have a lower power pull on your vehicle’s battery and system. They also give our vehicle a fresh and new feel with bright white light. I was wondering if you could do a share for it on your UA-cam： • Introduction • Overview of features • Actual driving footage with the bulbs • Amazon link on the description for viewers interested in buying the product." Please let me know if this is OK with you. Really looking forward to working with you. Best wish, Nove
Those lights will be a bitch to open, as will a super solid BiLED projector retro. I’m of the mind that if you can get better results (better than stock) with a hardcore LED bulb on some otherwise great looking lights, you’ll already be getting 80% of the result you want, from about 20% of the cost of going full send on a biLED Projector retrofit.
@@flyryde Understand. What are some really god LED bulbs. I don't mind paying, just need a quality bulb. They are a pain to get to without pulling the front end apart.
Mled 2.0 is brighter but not anywhere close in term of width. S2000 has better overall beam pattern. Beside middle hotspot and white color(if you prefer white) s2000 outperform Mled 2.0 in every way.
Need your Advice. What is the best way to remove glass lens? 5x7 headlights glass. I broke 2 sets already. Had them in the oven up to 20 min, 300 degrees…still cant get the lens off, glass breaks all attempts
Should do a comparison with D2S Philips extreme vs Osram. It really shows what garbage Osram bulbs are as well as a Kelvin's they don't add up. Philips is worth the extra $30 over the Sylvania, all day.

I’m a fan of the jewel eye led, but the S2000 is by far the best!!!
Definately! Too bad its low beam only..
But i think someone in trs forum did bixenon conversion on s2k projector.. and the end result is respectable
I like the jewel style but dont wanna deal with fitment issues, also like the q45 style but it just needs a good ballast and bulb color combo.
Best looking was the Jewel Eyes, best performance was the S2000 I think.
I'm having such a hard time with my jewel eye build. It ain't no joke.
The jewel eye looks like it’d actually fit perfectly in the Falcon headlight assembly.
Might have found a unique look for my car.

And that S2K with TSX clear lens combo 🤤

Can you please measure the light intensity at 25 ft between all of those set up?
Will do
U can miss me with the s2k projector
But that Q45 lens is 🔥
S2000 but the jewel eyes 👀 look the best

Profile needs to make an MLED low beam, and a few sizes. Also need more flatish rectangular lense options ala the Qx4.
Dope as always.

Love it. Still have several s2000 s laying around

Personally let’s make the mode badass best working and best looking lol
Really loved ur video, can u do an updated video on the 2nd gen lexus IS
Cleanest was ap2 projector coolest looking is the jewel eye led projector

This is what needs to be adapted to the e36

I want to upgrade my wife's 2017 XT5 halogens, without changing the housing, and not just putting in an LED bulb. What is a good option.
Those lights will be a bitch to open, as will a super solid BiLED projector retro.

@@flyryde Understand. What are some really god LED bulbs. I don't mind paying, just need a quality bulb. They are a pain to get to without pulling the front end apart.
I wonder where the Morimoto MLED 2.0 projectors sit performance wise between the Jewel eyes and the S2k Projectors
Mled 2.0 is brighter but not anywhere close in term of width. S2000 has better overall beam pattern. Beside middle hotspot and white color(if you prefer white) s2000 outperform Mled 2.0 in every way.
Hayy, great video. Can you make a custom headlights for Kia Rio 2011?
I’m sure someone can. Have you joined the discord group? There’s a few guys in there that’d be able to help. discord.gg/fdUcry7Tvr

I have 1992 Chevy Silverado can you recommend some headlight or can you make me something
Can someone direct me to where I can find those easy screw in projector retrofit please pretty please 🥺I wanna try
Any recommendation on mazda cx-3 2021
Hid all the way boi!!
2:02
Yep, I put similar projector on my motorbike, its easier, just plug it and go
Xenon is the best.
Should do a comparison with D2S Philips extreme vs Osram. It really shows what garbage Osram bulbs are as well as a Kelvin's they don't add up. Philips is worth the extra $30 over the Sylvania, all day.
Which do you recommend for RC350 headlights?
Aren’t those already pretty dope?
@@flyryde
Are jewel eye LED projectors a better performance than the stock RC350 headlights?
S2000 is the best
