Yes I have.
Definitely a dimmer output than stock. How much dimmer? I don't know, and don't much care.

I am not a fan of "All Things Fully Hundo LED, FOREVER!!!", so I may have done it, partially, out of spite for blue-white LEDs.
There are better reasons than that, though (ehh, maybe).

The Main reason: the cool rally look.
Secondary reason: protection for the lenses.

MYGA!
Make Yellow Great Again!

I hope not much dimmer ..... I do have a problem with the factory headlights - for 2025 they could have, no, they should have been better! lol. I had a 96 Honda Civic w/ ebay retrofit parts, sorted properly, they illuminated the roadway w/out ever blinding anyone. I was never once high beamed by oncoming traffic.

but like you, I appreciate the competition yellow headlights. Had hobby painted some for my road race sedan back in 2017

I put a film on my S2000 headlights for fun. Luckily, I don’t drive it often at night because the light is dim. It does help protect the 18 year old headlight housing.

Everything we do to these cars is for fun!

Nice, I'm excited to hear your review of the Spoon coils

 

[NeRO_CTR]

Well here’s the AI and I collab version


Overall Impression:
The Spoon lowering springs offer a well-rounded enhancement to the FL5’s dynamics. Steering, grip, and mid-corner confidence are all elevated without introducing harshness. For enthusiasts who daily drive in +R mode or appreciate a more connected feel, this modification brings the chassis closer to its full potential. Highly recommended as an early-stage upgrade.

Steering Response:
Immediately noticeable reduction in steering effort during low-speed maneuvers, such as reversing out of a tech bay. The steering now feels lighter and more responsive, likely due to a change in front-end geometry and reduced body roll, decreasing steering resistance. This improvement contributes to reduced driver fatigue during daily driving.

Chassis Dynamics:
During a familiar set of back-to-back corners typically requiring both hands on the wheel, the vehicle maintained composure and confidence when driven single-handedly with the non-dominant hand. This suggests improved chassis balance and lateral grip under moderate load, supporting greater control with less physical input.

Comfort Mode Behavior:
In Comfort mode, the vehicle exhibited increased composure and stability through long, sweeping corners. The ride is slightly more rigid than stock but remains compliant enough to absorb uneven surfaces. The improved damping and spring rate tuning offer a balance between comfort and performance, especially beneficial for spirited daily driving.

R Mode Refinement:
In +R mode, the suspension feels more cohesive and predictable. The spring set complements the factory damper settings well, refining the aggressive R-mode behavior without sacrificing road feedback or stability.

Wow, well worded! At least AI is forcing more people to read, with its long winded wordy responses

after all the ups & downs....of a saturday morning, we still made to the Hondata Jailbreak Tour. To make it make sense, back in Feb, FB, shared a memory of my old sedan. That sparked a recreation journey.

my wife & kid arrive and register (i was on my way to them w/ stock wheels and tires)

Dooood!
This looks awesome!
Outstanding job!

Appreciate that. My current wild style is just an interim. I ordered wheels before I had these made but they've yet to arrive. Last update was jun 10. where spoon retailer claimed they're in production.
