I believe there are two kits available for our cars, Phillips Kit (CivicVTec has it) and another one called Eaglite (or something like that)...
Just remember that you'll lose your high beams because HID's don't have filaments in their bulbs...
You probably won't ever have a need for high beams with HID's though because they are gonna be super bright...

having HIDs on our cars would be best suited for if you have projector headlights like the TYC's or similar...cause those have seperate bulbs for low and high beams. my $0.02 anyway [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

projectors & the hid conversion.. sounds good - but do they have kits for that out as well? i might end up bringing it to a shop since i dont trust my own handywork on the car =P

approx. how much money will i be looking at for the projectors & the conversion?

well, here was my exact thought on how to make some tight projector & HID combo for our cars:

1. Get the TYC projector-beam headlight assemby for 01&up Civics (there is another projector-beam healight assembly for our cars that i know of, but i like the TYC one better) (here is a pic, and here is the page it is on from Autodynamic.com

2. Get a HID kit for whatever bulb size the TYC (or any other) projector-beam headlight assembly uses for the low beam--i think the TYC uses an H3 bulb for the low beam--

3. obviously, install the HID bulbs in the projectors and viola! you have some really tight HID projector beam headlights w/ cool looking black housing, turn signal, parking light, and high beam all together

Cost: the TYC's cost about $280+s&h from AutoDynamic, and the HID kit for whatever low beam bulb the projector uses probly would be at least like several hundred bucks, but i dunno
