Re: (velocity)
you want the lower level "K" if your going for output...
if you want those blue, purple, white etc.. you want higher K value
the higher you go the lower the output..
best bet is to retrofit tho

Re: Which brand HID is better. (alispoon)
Truly nothin is better than philips... i know from previous experiance, i've been through prior set of bullshit maxrix hid's before then i bit the bullet and got philips. The matrix hid's were $290 had a pretty cool purple color but the light output sucked and shortly burned out months later. Now the bad *** philips hid's are the ****, $400, great color and nearly daylight output, i mean when you look at the hid hardware when you pull them out of the box you can just tell that its well built compared to the "micky mouse" hid's like matrix. Pretty much what i'm trying to say is spend the extra cash now and you'll save in the end. I wish someone would've told me this in the beginning. ****** MATRIX!!!

Retro is the ONLY way to go... don't buy a kit. Search for it.

Sigh, HID kit in a H4 housing = glare = bad. You're gonna blind pretty much everyone on the road and the output is horrible. Theres a thread somewhere on HT about it HID's, search for it. Retrofit is when you take the OEM HID projectors from another car (i.e. s2k, tsx, bmw, audi, etc.) and "retrofit" it into your headlights; which is 10000000000x better than just using a kit in that H4 housing.

That is correct, however, integras come with HALOGEN projectors, not HID projectors

Don't listen to these people, you aren't going to blind anyone....
I have an H4 hid kit in my civic, no one ever complains, not once. I live in a town where police will pull you over for fun and even they have never said anything.
My h4 hid kit:
1) Puts out more light than stock
2) Looks sweet
The two reasons why I bought it. It will never be retrofit quality, but retrofits will never be OEM either.
For my $240 Im very satsified.

Every HID kit I know of comes with casper shields, mine did.
I'll work on the pics but my car has no interior or steering wheel in it now so it might be awhile.
