Re: projector headlight questions for 01 civic

doesnt really work out with those things. the halogen projector is very poor, and putting hid makes it worse. prolly best to swap in a real hid projector instead of the one it comes with.

Re: projector headlight questions for 01 civic

just putting hid bulb kit in the projector it comes with will be a disaster. they are designed poorly and not even good for halogen.

Re: projector headlight questions for 01 civic

you can get them but you have to open em up and change the projector inside. the one it comes with doesnt cut it at night.

Re: projector headlight questions for 01 civic

I would say have a specialist make you a good set.. will be spendy but well worth it.. especially if your picky about your lights

I smoked my headlights out, then went with hid super bright fogs to make up.. plus there on a switch
