How do you guys pass inspection??? I know when I go, I have to show the guys the low beams and the high beams??? Oh yeah, and what cars do you guys have HIDs from? A little OT, but I saw a Prelude at the mall today with a Mugen Twin Loop, and his license plate said MUGEN...it was great!!!

Anybody??? Bump???

Pass what inspection? Need more info.

I would recommend most all brand name HID kits, besides Belux, installed ten, nine of them needed to be replaced...

There are some "dual bulb" HID's, but I have no experience with them. They are supposed to burn on both low and high beam patterns. Here's a link:

What I DO have experience with is HID projector lights on an EH2. The low beam and the high beam are separate bulbs. The HID's go in the low beam, and the high beam remains the stock halogen bulb.

I saw one today too. EBP with an Apexi N1 sounded sweet. It was a type SHiz. With a big ole' Rice Inside sticker on the back window. It was great!

I was talking about in an EK (so no projectors) so it looks like Im stuck with Silverstars, but thanks guys!!!

tominos

damn, inspection must suck. don't have it here in oregon.

Ricey McRicerton

yeah its just for your inspection sticker for the year...wake county is like the only county in NC with smog checks....its horrible....

There are projectors for the EK chassis family. They aren't street legal, but they are out there.

forsyth does too can you get your car inspected in another county or what? theres only like 13 counties that do emissions and i have to live in one of them

I have a set from a 2002 Acura TL on my 1993 Si. I think the best bet is to go to a gas station where you can pay someone to pass you....thats what I do

Otherwise you can take them out and put in the factory bulbs. Its a bit of a pain but doesn't take THAT long.

Hey what's up guys? I was just wondering if anybody knew where I could get a replacement HID bulb. Also do you guys not have brights?

shawnhayes

Most of the time, you'll have to get bulbs for custom retrofits from the people you bought the kit from. Otherwise, if you have a standard D2S or D2R capsule, you can get it from a dealer, or even online.

See above for brights.

Nope, tried it. I live right on the granville county line (at least i think thats which one it is) and tried to go over and get them to inspect it, but no luck with that! They'll do everything but the emissions part and tell you to go back to wake conty to get them to test that!

thats super ghey, nc sucks at times but luckily cops around here dont really care how loud your car is, a friend of mine runs his crx without a muffler and i ran my itr with dc jdm, test pipe(put on after emissions, as well as the header) and tanabe RM

COMplex.

the setup i've got, uses h1 bulbs. i keep the h3 high beams and my low beams will be HID h1's. now if i could only figure out where i want the ballasts... i'd install it already

Got a 92-95 Civic?

Driver's side - mounted to lateral side of windshield washer bottle (but of course, can't drill into it - it'll have to be an adhesive mount)

Passenger side - mounted to bumper support in the place where the resonator used to be (and probably where you now have a filter).

r u using h4 bulbs? if so do you have to retro-fit them?
