Everyone seems to want RS2 headlights, what about S2 headlights? Aren't they 1 piece as well?

S2 headlights are equivalent to the B4-labeled lamps in the middle of this threesome.

RS2 is always thought to be better because you get a projector lamp in the low-beam, as well as H1 bulbs for both low/high. Plus it's more generally accepted that you can install aftermarket HID into a proper projector housing, instead of trying to cobble together something that will function nicely in a reflector-style housing.
The problem with S2 is that it's sometimes more difficult to find & buy those old 1piece B4 lamps, and for the trouble they're worth you'd be just as good to get European glass for your H4 north american headlamp and then just run a higher wattage bulb.
Yes, I did have all three styles of lamp at the same time once long ago ;-)
