Unhappy New Black EX SED. HID TIME.. or. do it right?

Hello All,

Im on week 3 of my new Civic EX... love it... black, a little custom chrome trim on the base windoes (volvo style)

Sorry, I'll try and get some pics up this weekend, (been raining and the black honda is the shiznat) ((who says shiznat?))

As per the advice of a few fellow 05 RSX owners I ordered the 9006 Brightstar HID plug n' play kit.

Im hyped.. untill I started reading posts...

then realized that the "cut-off" for HID really is dependant on the headlights houseing..

Ok, I thought,, How bad do I want a clean cut-off line.

Well really bad now!!!
SO I looked for aftermarket projection headlights for my car..
Then I find out that there are different houseings for Halogen proj. and HID proj.

Soooo I thought, ok Ill dump 200-300 (although I think I like the OEM sytle on the Civics front end better than a projection lens there)
on a new headlamp..

Ive seen maybee 3 and they are so-so.

no one makes em for HID.
Post more pics of HID cut-offs, not just the front of your cars (PLEASE) ( I assume the coupe and sedan have the same front end and headlights) of actuall HID cut-offs..

So the HID kits in the mail..
Ill get it in 2 days, and Monday Ill take some evening before and after shots..
maybee even take pics of the whole thing.

I love this car, am I wrong to want the best lookin HID for it....

*** the CSX with HID doesnt have a projection lense.. I wonder what its cut-off looks like****
