Yeah OEM S2 tails only fit if you use the S2 bumper, brackets, and cut the sheet metal where the tails go. The OEM S2 tails at least have good LED's and don't look cheap like these, especially the OEM Spirit R tails, they look good IMO.
The Spirit R tails and headlights are blacked out inside. They still don't blow me away but they are pretty nice.

I'm thinking of converting my front as well but I'm not sure whether full black headlights will look nice on a black car. But they still look better than the std. S2 ones IMO so there's only one way to find out.

I think the double ring looks awesome, but the ones they ssell on ebay are like $450+ so I just replaced my leaking ones on the car I bought last week with the basic 2004-2008 OEM style that are branded TYC. I cant seem to find on here if others have done so and if they leak or not, but they havea decently thick foam gasket on them. Anyone tried those ones?

Yea, the way to fix leaking headlights is first dry them out and then add weather stripping foam over the worn out gasket that is there (do not remove the gasket, just add to it).
I also opened (cut) my rears and installed my own LED ring over the red cap and it looks awesome and have it wired up to the "running" lights wires. So it doesn't go on when you hit break, but on whenever the lights are on. Also did the same to the rear fog light I installed and it's on a flasher when you break. I think it looks good but I do need to buy new sets of rears and redo it - I did it in college myself and it was a pretty crappy job and did not fit very well when pieced back together.
