Here's an updated picture of my Civic's front end. You can now see the HID retrofit in the TYC housings, new grill, eyelids...Let me know what you think. Aero Kit is next. Also is a rear pic and you can see the wifey's 540i

Those headlights are clean. It would look even cleaner if you got rid of those orange corner bulbs. Eyelids look great

After all I went through with the retrofit the corner bulbs are staying as is
Thanks for the comments!

P.S. I'll post some pics of the light pattern when it gets dark out if there is interest and if I can figure out how to turn off the flash on my new digital camera...

looks awesome. how much the retrofit cost you (parts and everything) and how long did it take?

TYC Projectors: $150 shipped
Projectors/Bulbs/Balasts/Wiring Harness: $150
Time: About 8 hours, I ended up cutting the back of the housings and molding the projectors onto the whole due to the size of them. Wiring wasn't too bad, but taking out the old headlights was a bitch (damn tight engine comparments these days!) I also had to melt the washer fluid pipe with a heat gun to it would all fit, and luckily the pipe is still wide enough to accept washer fluid

Your Civic looks real nice!

Just curious. With that kind of spending power how did the Civic catch your eye?

My previous car was a '91 Volvo 740 Wagon and the tranny dropped on it finally (after 400k miles!) and I needed a comfortable, economical commuter car for the drive to Boston everyday (100 miles round trip) and needed it quick. I've heard about how reliable Hondas are and that the Civics are a great value for the money so I went in, test drove one, wrote 'em a check and the rest is history as they say...Had they made the Prius that's out now about 2 years ago I would have purchased one of those, but hey my Civic is alright

(Also, the M3 would be downright punishing on that commute, as it is my race car, hehehe.)

01civicuh - I got the eyelids for something like $10 off of eBay and the grill for $30 off of eBay and had them painted at a body shop while my rear end damage was painted and repaired.

AR - Pics of the M3 are in My Gallery. It had no quarter panels at the time of that photo shoot
