I just installed O-NEX HID conversion kit on my DC2...took 10 min to install. Best $120 ive ever spent on my car. Stock integra headlights suck. I felt like i was driving in a shadow when other people with HID's were driving behind me.

5-6k will get you the most useable light. anything above that and its more for cosmetics. I have 8k's...if you do get ones with a funky color though be ready for a ticket i know numerous friends who were ticketed for HID kits that were 10k +, basically just dont get anything that looks too outrageous and you'll spare yourself a ticket and actually be able to see the road at night : )

4300k will actually get you the most useable light. When it comes to color temperature, the higher K (Kelvin) kits provide you with more color but less actual useable light.

You should use a projector so you arent blinding people. HID bulbs arent designed for halogen reflectors.
