Why to the HID Kit?

I understand the for the cf hood, im not even sure about it, but my hood now is the most faded part of my car, and i want something to offset my black wheels and draw more attention to my car.

for HID kit from me as well.

They cause large amounts of glare, are not reliable, and just awful in general.

I'd take it and do a projector retrofit into the headlights, so it has a clean cutoff instead of the nasty glare from normal crap hid kit bulbs.

From experience, even a retrofit in the one piece headlights isn't worth the trouble. The output still isn't that great and the cut off is crap.

I'm assuming one pieces are fluted lenses?

Hmm, my friend did an HID kit on his sc300 and it looks clean, no glare, good lighting.

it depends on housing, most are awful. Fluted lenses are especially problematic. And Integra halogen projectors, dont get me STARTED.
