best thing to do when you can't afford is *SHOCK* save more to get HIDs

seriously though why half *** and get some bulbs that just make the road look white yet actually suck for viewing, save for the HID, its only $450 or so maybe less.

Catz Zeta Kit. But you still won't get the satisfaction you get from a real HID kit. A few of my friends who went with the Zeta kit eventually put the money up for real HID's. I would say keep the lights stock and save up money for HID's if that is what you want. Do it right, do it once. It will save you money in the long run.

When my shitty ebay projectors worked I had some PIAA Super Plasma 5000k H3's
They were HID-ish looking. Now I have the Silverstars, they look great, simple white.

If you cant see **** SAVE THE DAMN MONEY FOR HIDS! Some cheapo replacement bulbs are NOT going to compare to HIDS for light output.

they aren't going to compare but some $20 piaa's or even some $50 silverstars will work pretty nicely until he can actually buy HID's.

next best thing to HID...

thats easy mang, those led wiper nozzles, dayuummm those things are tiiiiite.

seriously, why waste good money on needless lighting. I'm sure the 99% of other civic drivers around the world don't suffer too greatly from lack of vision at night... do you?
