No drilling at all? Is the Install reversable? I miss my S2000 HID and want some again. I'm just wondering what the best options are.. Right now, looks like these. Is there a JDM projector replacement. I heard there was? Myth maybe. How much were those HIDs?

i paid like 405 shipped.. i got the 4300k kit.. They look great, just like the S2000, STI's, EVO's, etc.. you'll need to rig up something around the bulbs to project them.
Once the weather gets warmer I will do it for my car and do a write up.

The install of my Kaixen 6000K HID kit took less than 30 minutes to do. No need to drill, no need to cut wires, no need to take off the front bumper, or take off any wheels. It was very quick and easy.
Here's a run-through of how I installed it: 1) Jack up the car high enough so that there is enough room to take the clips off the fenderwall lining and push it back. 2) Remove the stock bulb. 3) Insert the HID bulb. 4) Connect all the wiring. (Note: With the Kaixen HID kit there is no cutting of wires, no wires that connect to the battery, ot any wires that ground it. It is a completely plug and play kit which makes the install very easy). 5) Mount the ballasts underneath the front fenders using industrial strength velcro for ease of removing it later if you wish too. And trust me, this stuff is very strong so there really is no chance of it falling off. 6) Zip tie some of the wires together to make it look more organized. 7) Put the clips back for the fenderwall lining and lower the car. You are done. 8) Turn on your HID's and admire how they look. Plus, the Kaixen kits can be had for $300 shipped or less, so they are a great deal. They are high quality and come with a 1 year warranty, I definitely recommend them! I hope this helps someone interested in HIDs for their civic. |

if my bulbs would've twisted in or snapped in, i would've been done as fast. But i had to screw them in since the design was different even though it was the right bulb.

So just 4300 k? I went on xenon depot and they have alot on there but, its confusing and it doesnt say for what car or model its for they just list alot of HID's and part numbers. How are sylvania silverstars compared to HIDs? because our cars have halogens correct? HID's will be much more times brighter then silverstars? or?

XenonDepot HID Conversion Kit - 4300k is what you want. The bulb size for the low beams are HB4 (Honda) or 9006 (Universal).
