It'd take a lot of trial and error to reverse engineer the halogen headlights as Honda has designed them to know which sections of the reflector are casting off unwanted glare under extreme lighting conditions.
What SOME people do is just retrofit the reflectors from HID-equipped cars directly into the car's headlight housing. Theoretically, someone could retrofit a CSX housing (HID-equipped) inside the Civic headlight, and with a D2R bulb, the output would be good. But when people recognize the similar cost of doing that kind of retrofit, they often lean towards a full projector retrofit.
