HID kit with stock housing
I know that it has been here couple times.
I'm trying to get a HID kit for my 00 Si. I saw that if I get a HID kit in stock housing, the light beam doesn't look right.
I was looking pictures on web who has a HID kit in regular housing, it seems ok..
but is it really blurry? and will it be hard to drive?
Please advise.

A HID kit in stock housings is technically illegal and for good reason. HIDs are designed to be in projector housings to keep them from blinding on coming traffic.
IF you put a HID projector in your OEM housing it will work. All though the glass on your headlight is going to scatter and blur the projector cut off and it will not work as well as having a housing designed for projectors. (ie clear smooth glass)

Retrofitting OEM HID projectors into after-market Civic projector headlight housings would be the simplest option with the best results.
