I too miss my S2000 from a headlight (and car) perspective. On the fence with swapping in some STI-R clear lenses into my headlights this summer which will get it close to S2000 level from a beam pattern perspective..in addition to doing a blackout and putting in switchback white/amber boomerangs from DD.

If you guys are getting flashed I'd definitely verify your headlights are aimed correctly using the adjustment screw on the headlight. The Osrams are much brighter than stock and I haven't gotten flashed yet.
Agreed.

The 2017+ are LED but I honestly didn't notice them being significantly better than the older lights although I don't have that much time driving one at night. Ironically when I did drive it I was drove my Focus RS to the dealership, the same care the OP mentioned. Neither really impressed me that much for lighting.
