Default HID ?'s

anyone got any recommendations on HID kits?

most seem to be plug and play these days and I dont know if those are any good or not?

Also for those of you who do have them did you guys do a projector headlight conversion or just plugh them right into your stock headlight housing?

if anyone with a 5th gen has them post up a couple pics so I can see what they look like

I went from a McCulloch 5300k kit to a Philips / Hella Gen 3 4300k kit.

I'm satisfied with both setups.

Hella is the way to go, i have it on my pos for 4 years

I had a plug and play kit in my accord and i had glare. Glare is bad. My next car is coming retrofitted definitely.

If you look at http://www.customlightz.com, you'd see what a good retrofit is like and the light output is insane

McCullochs were in the stock housings.

So you have the kit, here's a retrofit. Do you mind taking a wall shot so we can compare?





And






Both cars have s2000 as low beams.
