They don't exist. Only '04s have projectors.

You don't want projector HIDs. Yes, they look cool and the light is very focused, but the hard "line" they produce kills your night vision to see anything above the "line" unless you have your highbeams on.

This was the problem I experienced with both of my S2000s. I think the current reflector system is the way to go.

The projector beams are better for inclement weather (read rain). Thats why most german manufacturers use them. There is pretty much no other reason why they'd use them.
