No, my Civic has the full blown retro treatment.

My old Volvo had just the HIDs. I knew I blinded people with it too, thinking back on it...because just the glare coming from the sides of the headlights were enough to light up a 13' wall.

I did my lighting right this time, so I got a retrofit.

As far as how a PnP kit would look. If you recall the Lexus IS300. Or the Toyota Prius, actually. Those cars are equipped with HIDs with reflective housings. There's no cool twinkly star look to them, just a headlight putting out a pure white light. However, unlike our Civics, those headlights were DESIGNED with HIDs in hand.
