HID bulbs "shift light everywhere". I'm sorry, but that's a little silly. How is that different from a halogen bulb?
I'm not trying to be mean, but I just don't know what your point is exactly. I don't think that most people who have bought kits from ebay have been discontent with the results or even been misled. Much as it grates me to admit it, plug-and-play kits are viable options for this generation Civic, because the light is *relatively* controlled.

Those cars with factory hid but without projectors have ...what do you call it hmm oh yeah HID reflectors. Example: G35 which uses D2R bulbs(reflector bulbs)
HID bulb shifts light everwhere as in its beam is uncontrolled thus a shield will control it and make the beam sharp. Example: Projectors.
The differece with Halogen bulbs is that the HID bulbs produce more than twice the lumens a halogen produces...these high intensity discharged light output is controlled by the ballast. That's why you don't find ballasts with our halogen bulbs in our cars.
