Hid question?

Hey guys im really interested in purchasing an hid kit for my 2k5 civic and i just have the oem reflector housing... and if i put an hid kit in there (9006 hid kit) would it just be a waste of money and look goofey or would it be well worth the money spent or if i really wanted an hid kit i should get some diffrent headlights or what? i dont really know.

The back of an 04/05 headlight is a lot different than the 01-03's

I suggest going with an HID kit only because putting a projector in the headlight by yourself would be hard because there is not a lot of room to work with. Of course you can get it done by a professional but, even after they do it, the headlights may not fit back onto your car.

I just bought an HID kit for my 2004 civic coupe, from Impulse (the guy above me), for 325 shipped, and I put it in today, and they are INSANE. I think it is the best 325 plus 10 minutes to install that i have ever spent. PM me if you wanna see some pictures. Can't go wrong with his kit, i have the xtec 6000k 9006.
