Re: Which HID

the fact that you ask "is xenon good" indicates that you have no clue about this subject and need to do some mroe research before you attempt to buy and install anything

xenon is not a brand, its a type of lighting.

and ur civic uses 9003. and any brand is good, just as long as its not the cheapo ebay ones....hids is one of those things where you get what you pay for type of thing, but most of them are pretty decent now a days

Re: Which HID

mcculloch is good but a bit overpriced.

on ebay, a seller named "yourhid" sells 50w kits for about 95shipped. that is ridiculously cheap, and the quality is excellent. id get them if i were you...

but the fact, that ur gonna blind all oncoming traffic isnt such a good idea, especially with 50w ballast.

Re: Which HID

Just make sure that when you do get them you don't go higher than 8k. 6k is recommended which is your bright white. Also no matter which company you go with make sure they come with some kind of warranty. It will pay off in the long run.

Re: Which HID

find the casper shield for the HID kits, 50w is a bit high for HID since they run at 35 watts and 44,000 volts (reason for the ballast).

Since your gonna need a bi-xenon (HI and LOW beams)

http://xenonking.com/Visionpro-4300k-Hid-Kit-Car.html

i know its alot but think you get what you pay for but definately look for the casper shield or just get H4 Projectors

I have HIDs from yourHID on ebay. They are the 50 watt ones. I am also using stock headlights reflectors and so far (about a month and a half) I have not had anyone flash their lights at me. I think they got aimed down when I wiggled then to make sure they were in.

One of my HID balists died. I don't know if that was yourHIDs fault or mine because I (trying to be quick and not thinking) mounted it right next to the engine. Thankfully the yourHID guy took it back on a warranty claim.

My point is: I think they are a great deal and you should go for them.

FYI, the yourHID instruction booklet is next to unreadable. The translation is really bad.

FYI #2, make sure to run the balists off of relays so you don't burn up your stock wiring.

Re: Which HID

And also something i didnt see mentioned here, Xenon is not a brand, i did hear someone say that, but Xenon is the gas inside if the bulb. an electrical arc is created inside the bulb, rather than flowing current through a coil.
