Just take your time, measure them out correctly. Make a template and align them out. It took me 4hrs to do it because i spent a bunch of time making sure there both symmetrical.

looks like a lot of light. i never really liked the bosch bi-xenons, though, due to lack of sharpness. some people like that, though. anyways, it looks better than my retrofit (mine is crooked lol)

i got oem dc5 sidemarkers...nice job on the retro tho....IMO u shoulda gone with the DC5 sidemarkers too

 
Rep Power: 321

nah i like the bmw ones. They look more unique. The dc5 ones look too plain to me. PLus everyone knows the best mixes are half european and half asian .

After almost 2months, my friend finally finished the fiberglass job on my shrouds. I should be able to pick them up this weekend. I'll post wall pics asap. I'm happy the way they turned out. It came out exactly how i wanted it...very oemish.

today i changed my bulbs...put new osram 4300k bulbs...now it supose to be brighter...

 
Rep Power: 321

^^^^

i have the philips in mine. I heard the philips tend to be more white and the osram tend to be more yellow.

Is the hid intensity different for you? I noticed my driver side intensity is a lot more then my passenager side.

i hve philipis to but now it not that bright like before so i go this cuz i was getting good deal... for brand new....just trying it now...i am doing another project tyc with valeo h7 redoing it.....

hahah thats like mine its strange...i sometimes want to just change em to the philips hids that hidplanet sells.

 
Rep Power: 435

i'm really envious of you guys with 04-05 civics. the front end looks so much better with a retrofit than my googly-eyed 01-03 civic. oh well. wait for this upcoming summer. i'll be retroing some [insert uber expensive bi-xenon projector name here] into my miata's pop-up headlights. lol

 
Rep Power: 321

now i'm kinda wishing i saved more and got s2000 projectors. I was next to a s2000 at the light and his hids were drowning out all my light.

 
Rep Power: 271

hahah....yea im pleased with my valeos but not too pleased. wish they were brighter like s2k but too bad they wont fit without heavy mods.....

 
Rep Power: 435

some people on hidplanet aren't actually satisfied with their s2000 projectors and wish they have more light. it's all moot after you get the retrofit.

I saw boogie1688 valeo retrofit. The color was nice, but it didn't really have any intensity. I guess its one of those things where you always want something better.

well my valeo is brighter on passanger side then driver......i even put brand new bulbs and samething...

 
Rep Power: 321

damn that sux. I have the same problem except opposite of yours. My driver side is a lot brighter then my passenager side even when there the same height.

You think it might have something to do with the lens? For example slight differences in quality or something?

 
Rep Power: 0

my be cuz valeo lens has both side are open..and i coverd them my be i didnt cover that good.. .. cuz i also put new ballast on driver side and didnt make different...

here this is what i am talking about
the silver tape around lens holder...


before some one ask me this let me tell you
glue is not facing inside the projecter....i had to put the tape facing outside then put another one on the top to stick to the projecter..

 
Rep Power: 435

that should help the output just a little bit, i think.

 
Rep Power: 321

are those clear lens? or frensel? if there clear, shouldn't they be bright as hell?

 
Rep Power: 435

clear or fresnel, a valeo will still be a valeo. if it has an ECE bowl, then you will have a marginally more intense output when compared to a DOT bowl.

its clear dude..

infi yes its ece coded....when i got them it also had that flip shiled...wich can be changed from R.H to L.H but dint work for me cuz flip clip didnt want to fit in my housing...so i had to cut it and weld it..
