[[[ HID ]]] Civic with (glare guard off) the headlights
has anyone done a HID on a 96 civic, WITH OUT NO GLARE GAURDS IN THE HEADLIGHTS? anyone take them off and see the difference? the glare guards are the ones by the bulbs in the housing like on the picture shown

not bright, blinding, there is a diffrence, light would not be more intence at all, it would simply be dispersed in 10000 directions.

There are only 2 types of HID bulbs... reflector and projector.
The reflectors only perform as desined when there is a properly designed reflector (glare guard).
Projectors would work-ish but again there'd be no shape to the light and it would blind the **** out of people.
Your best bet for something like that would be to look at a stock reflector HID housing and try to swap the reflector (glare guard) onto yours... I mean ideally you'd want one with the reflector housing designed for it too... but that'd take a lot of luck finding the right one to fit into the civic housing.
Whatever you figure out the main point is that neither of the type of HID bulbs are designed to be in an open housing w/o either a reflector or a projector lens.

A buddy had a 4300K kit in a set of CTR headlights (no glare guard) and they were simply dreadful. Horrible idea.

Re: [[[ HID ]]] Civic with (Mr Hammond)
I have oem CTRs with no shield BUT the hid kit I have came with well designed casper(glare) shields

if I could do it all over again (which I might) I would go with retrofitting TL bi-xenon projectors with zkw bi-xenon lenses
