Has anyone done an HID projector retrofit on a 6th gen? or know of a good write-up? I want HIDs but wanna do it the right way but I have no idea where to start.

The process is similar to a 7th gen and other car models.

Check out www.theretrofitsource.com for more info. They have general instal instructions that can be applied to all headlights.

@GolNat: Man, they used to have a whole research section too, which was really helpful. I wonder why they removed it...
All you need to do is pull them beeches apart, take the old stuff out and put the new stuff in. Just make sure you have all the tools so you don't have to throw everything back together and run to Lowe's like I did.
I'm considering taking everything back out and spraying my reflectors gray to further minimize glare.

Okay, so it is pretty similar to a 7th gen. Read a few write ups on doing it as well. From what ove seen, it looks like Morimoto Minis will slide right it, not a terrible amount of modification necessary.

Yeah, all you need is a heat gun or oven to heat up the seals so you can pull them apart, some basic tools like a screwdriver if you aren't planning to do any other mods besides the install (I needed a security Torx bit to remove my amber inserts) an some sealant to reseal them (TRS offers a HUGE roll for like 10 bucks). The whole process takes less than half a day if you're REALLY meticulous and make mistakes like me. Just make sure you get your headlights aimed properly when you're done.

Alright, Im getting a different set of headlights (they have a black surround and im painting the reflector part black as well) so ill probably do everything I can to seal that housing up. Well, my only hold up right now is that all the write ups ive read are using Morimoto Mini 4.0/4.1 and now theyre selling Morimoto Mini 6.0s so I contacted them to make sure they are physically the same. Did you go with bi-xenon or just the low beam? If you went bi, how did you wire it up to use your high beam, ive read that some people have issues with that.

On my car it was super easy. I got the bixenons and they come with a relay harness that plugs into your existing one. The hardest parts were finding grounding points and a place to put the relay box. It's THAT easy! Just make sure you order the right harness.

The relay box is the gold thing to the right of my battery.


The halos (optional) and their harness (red box, above air filter) were more difficult, but still took less than an hour.

okay, so they provide the harness with the kit, but it says to plug it in to a bare harness and plug it in to my cars factory light harness. Im pretty sure i need those factory harnesses for my HIDs

Also, i have an H4/9003 bulb in my civic. How would I go about converting it to H1?

What harnesses do you have?

HerpDerp1919

Its a weird lookin one. But I got it all figured out now. TRS sells a relay thats all plug and play. (well except all the retrofitting)

Yep! If you have any questions, the guys are really helpful over the phone or email!
