HID gone bad

car is an em2 with a H4 low beam Mcculloch HID kit that came with an built in glare shield. the install went fine but the results were a nightmare!...







ive seen some 7thgens with HIDs in their OEM housings and they looked fine but i guess mine was just a bad cookie. i wanted to remove the built in glare shield and buy a better one (caspers) but its not removeable. whether i aim them higher or lower, the same amount of glare is put out. instead of selling the kit or wasting more money on bulbs, i was thinking of purchasing some TYC headlamps since i wanted some. i would like to know if my h4 hid kit will fit the tyc black headlamps? what modifications are needed?

Robear Racing. TYC BLACK HOUSING PROJECTOR HEADLAMPS: CIVIC 01-03 (2/4DR)



thanks for any help guys

the TYC's done use H4's the H4 is a high low beam and all projectors use on oe the other. its most likley an H7. you best bet is to sell the kit and get one for the TYC's i want to do that but im still not sold on after market projector headlights unless its a retrofit.
