yeah very true, the color flickering of the projectors are awesome. of all the projectors, the s2k is the nicest i have seen, the most expensive setup too

The acura TL is next in line with crazy color, I'd take either. But my next car(the new GS *fingers crossed*) will have projectors. If they are the same ones on the current LS then I'll be happy. Those things have nice color and an awesome spread. Pulled up next to one and it drowned my poor little lights. 
Oh and heres a crappy freeway pic. Hard to take driving lol Notice my cutoff line on the gaurdrail.

The sc430's are almost as good as s2k's. Actually when you take them apart the insides look the same and bowls are almost identical. If you replace the lenses on the sc430 with a clear one the cutoff brightness spread flicker pretty much everything is like the s2k. Now the ls430 is the widest of them all because it uses a projector/reflector housing. Right below the lenses on the ls430 is a chrome piece that shoots light off to the sides further than any other projector out there. The light intensity in certain places is up to par with s2k's. For most people with small headlight housings a retrofit would be difficult to impossible. The GS housings are big enough for it but its the cosmetic part i think that would be hard.

anyway, now i wonder how hard it is to change out the front lens on the sc430 to a clear lens? ever since i got my car i always wonder why it came with fuzzy lens instead of clear. i think with clear the light output would be so much nicer

Heres where you can buy clear lenses. Im actually going to swap out my frensels I bet I'll get more crazy color out of my A6's on top of them getting brighter.
