i tried to resize them, it wouldnt work, so sorry for the big pics

 

a little information with each post would be nice like, 8000K blue and company and cost...

 

mine is a 8300k Mecca Tune kit, i paid after shipping i think it was like $330, the guy was really nice, they are located out of NJ, after a lil research i found that they are suppose to be hella products just rebadged

 

how hard was the installation ? any problems?

 

i would get projectors and then switch out their cheap projectors with some hella for the perfect hid cut off
you can't really have a nice cut off with a hid in those ef headlights

 

dead images.. argh ):

 

i cant afford to do a retrofit....the cut off is half way decent, ive seen worse....and the install was cake, it was plug and play, and the images shouldnt be dead

 

Are thos the projectors on ebay? Or stock headlights? If they are the stock headlights i hope to god you don't drive at night. FWIW, stock headlights have ripples in the headlight to difuse some of the beam pattern. With hids in the stock housing, the beam pattern is drastically changed and you get a really bad glair for the traffic coming towards you, in fact, anyone or anything gets the glair. Don't take this the wrong way or anything.

Also, when taking pictures of light patterns, have your car perpendicular to the building and not at an angle.

 

thanx, and they are stock, i never been highbeamed, i got them pointed all the way down, and ill try your lil tip on the pic taking

 

I would like to see a pattern directly on. Also, I would like to see a picture in a dark garage with the lights on. As long as it works and doesn't blind other people then i'm cool. good job

 

some friends and i going out 2night, ill park it in front of the garage again and snap a few, not sure why you want a dark garage w. the light son? wouldnt that defeat the purpose of showing them off?

 

Yeah, take a few in front of the garage... and some with the car lights on in a dark garage.... if what i think is going to happen, i'll explain. No, it doesn't defeat the perpose... it would defeat the perpose if the lights were off and the car was in the garage when u took a pic. Take the pics and post them, i'll explain.

 

oh i read it wrong.....you said in a dark garage w. the lights on, i thought you meant lights, you meant HIDs, lol, sorry i havent slept in awhile

 

i know im not the only one w. HID in a CRX/Civic

 

Just remember to stand towards the rear of the car when you take the pic inside the garage.
