idle trouble?. What HIDs do you have? You might want to put in a higher fuse like 20 or something...Although they take less energy for it to work, theres a point where it takes more so that it can warm up...if that doesnt work, then I'm lost as much as you are.

Do the Civics take D2S or D2R's?

I had no problem wiring my HID's, but then again, this is from a Mercedes-Benz, I have no idea what kit you have. Mine was a direct tap into the stock harness.

You had a white EX i think with Benz, HID's that looked really clean...if so, IM me, i wanna talk to you one day about how you did that, cus im got a hook-up at a body shop for some HID's next crashed benz that comes in, they are mine...so hit me up on AIM: MaxBoost01

why deal with all that crap. spend more money on the engine and less on the lights. Get a good set of PIAA's, they look good and cost a whole hell of a lot less

Just out of curiousity, what do you guys think of your HIDs? I'm especially interested in your response, DelSolVTEC.

can you give more details on what is needed to do this conversion?? it does not require any body work does it?? i would think maybe the ballast, xexon lights and some wiring correct??
