dont go lower either.lol seriously i wouldnt get 4300k but its all you. i would go 5 lowest. i might put those as my highs now that i think about it.

 

Why would you not go with 4300k? I`ve never seen anybody offer a 5000k before.

 

Just get Silverstars light bulbs they are not as good as HID but are very bright and create a very clean white light , they give you much better visibility and yeah they are very bright you can see them clearly from miles awy

 

costs like 80 bux for 2 bulbs

 

Thats what I have now. They were $44 with tax for the pair. And I actually have them for my dims and highs. VERY pleased with my highs! I just need more for my dims.

Alota people say not to use your highs or that its rude. Well I live in the country in Louisiana where there are narrow, hilly, and winding roads with a **** load of deer runnin around! So brights are a MUST!

 

The real deal H.I.D. conversion is more than worth it, this guy down the street from me has a 96 ls DC and it looks pretty clean you have to rewire some stuff and i don't know how to do all of it, but its way better than your stock setup...

so one vote for H.I.D.'s

Exactly what I have, and they aren't bad for bulbs from you local auto parts store

 

well if your all for function over form then 4300k

i thought they had 5000k but i dont remember. im kind for looks over function. so yah my opinion is kinda biased.lol

 

HID w/projectors FTW!

 

How much did it cost you?

 

My 9005 & 9006 Silverstars are good enough.

If you want more, go with the 9011 HIR1 and 9012 HIR2 bulbs.

The main thing to do, is make sure you have your headlights adjusted correctly.
When you lower your car, adjust your headlights a little higher.
Just enough that you don't blind oncoming traffic with them.

 

Someones been diggin haven't they?

That setup will probably cost you (average going rates):

D2S bulbs (phillips) - $80
TSX Projectors (Clear lens) - $200
Plug n Play Ballasts & Ignitor (pick your brand) - $170
Retrofit hardware/etc - $5
Labor - $180
Light housings (if you don't have cores) $150-$200

Total = $785

Now if you shop around and find better deals, your better off that way. If you've got money and just want a retrofitted setup, hit me up. I'll be glad to do one for you. I've got 3 TSX retrofits under my belt. Hit me up if your interested.

they have 5000k hid kits.. i have one on my integra and love it. In the spring thought retrofit is coming...

 

dude get HID's for your 96LS it looks bad ***

 

if his headlights are built for it, why would you vote no? That doesn't make sense. PnP are inexpensive and are brighter then stock. I say get em since his car is just a daily and he doesn't want to put too much money into it. Its not like integras come with reflector headlights.

 

does anyone relize the op hasnt posted in this thread in a year?????? i wonder what he did after all.

 

if any one get hid conversions...please do the rest of us non-ricer a favor and don't go with the 10k or 12k hids...it's just too gay and ricey...gives the rest of us guys a bad image...so stick with 4.5k or 5k....you see better any ways...i don't to see purple or green HIDs driving around

 

haha... makes me want to either take my HID's off or get a retro fit

 

I wanna do a retro fit. TI's got a great write-up on it.
