exactly how it should be done.... not with this OEM crap....
what people fail to realize is that the Civic's headlights were not designed for HID's... so no matter what, throwing in aftermarket kits will still get a tremdous amount of glare...

I would't say tremendous. I almost never get flashed unless there are bumps in the road or a hill. The kit I have IS made for halogen housing and has the glare shield that works well. It's not a perfect cutoff obviously, but pretty darn close. I've seen other stock cars with worse glare or aim like nissanZ, echo, and others. So I would say I'm grouped with the oem people and not the ricers I see all the time.

same here, obviously, even with the glare shield, the cutoff wont be as nice as projectors, but not everyone has 400-500 or more to spend on a retrofit. im sure we all know that.
Also, oem isnt crap. HIDs in our oem housing still help out more than halogens, so the purpose is served.
Hey JayFReaZy I got the same projectors and this made me think twice before converting to HID, on the back of those lights it says no HID, did yours work fine with HID and did not melt or anything like that?
I want to get these lights for my civic from robearcacing "http://www.robearracing.com/pd_honda_01up_civic.cfm"
what else would I need to make them work? are those HID?
HID stands for High Intensity Discharge. They are the type of lights on the higher end vehicles such as BMW, Mercedes, Acura TSX/TL/RL, Nissan 350z, etc...
