I got some Silverstars for Christmas and I was going to pop them in. But I can't even get to the darn low beam bulbs. I tried to remove the thing on the passenger side that blocks me getting to the bulb but I lost a bolt and still can't get to the darn bulb. I am probably doing this all wrong.
There has to be an easier way?! Do I need to remove the headlights? If so, how do I do it? |

Thanks, I got them installed and they look Great
Now to fog lights. Which ones do you guys recommend. Honda or OEM. I heard OEM's don't last and aren't as easy to install. Oh well, that's another topic

but they are not Genuine Honda Factory Fogs. I cheapes I can find the Honda fogs is 226.00 plus shipping. Question, since you have the Honda fog lights, are the lenses Glass or plastic? I am really hoping they are glass not cheap plastic like all the OEM wanna be's |

I know that because a rock on the highway decided to put a nice little hole in it (conical break; little pinhead hole where the rock hit it on the outside, but on the inside it's about 10x wider then on the outside) |

HIR's or aim low beams higher??
1. For anyone who has installed HIR's as low beams (9006), how has illumination distance improved??
2. Does anyone else think that stock low beam aim is too low?? How do I adjust aim? Is adjustment located in same place as bulb replacement? Have '07 Civic Hybrid. Live in area with no street lights, made worse by hills/curves. Am considering installing HIR's, but think I would also benefit from aiming low beams slightly higher. Don't want too much glare for oncoming drivers, but stock aim seems very low in comparison to all other cars I've owned. I like sharp cut-off of beam pattern, which is similar to Euro H4's I have used in other cars, but illumination distance is poor. I think it's both dangerous and fatiguing. Thanks for any help. |

Mine seem to be angled a little low in my opinion as well. I installed 100W artic white bulbs, which helped a little but still seem to be a little low. I plan on aiming a little higher when I install my foglights.

How do I aim low beams higher??
Low beams are aimed way too low. Headlamps usually have phillips screw to adjust height.
I called (2) local Honda dealers. In general, they do not want to aim higher as they are understandably concerned over glare to oncoming drivers. Will only adjust if aim is off from factory spec. Does anyone know how to adjust aim? Is an adjustment screw visible from wheel well after removing plastic inner wheel well cover?? I don't want to bother oncoming drivers and will be careful, but reach of low beams seems to be only ~ 3-4 car lengths. Thanks! |

I hate to be an *******, but all the yuppies that live around me have HID's which blind the Sh*t out of me. So if I move up a little to improve my driving safety and it causes a little glare for oncomming, screw it. Seriously the HID's here are unreal. I cant believe they are not illegal.

I'm gonna re-ask a question from the top of this thread. Does anyone know anything about the bulbs that light the instrument panel (A/C, stereo, etc)
I ask b/c i am trying to swap mine out for either LED versions or at least "whiter" versions so that i can get the "CSX" effect (everything comes out blue) All i know at te moment is that they run on 12V |
