i was going to buy a HID kit, but i've read somewhere that retro is the way to go.

 

 

There are two main problems you'll have to contend with if you try to retrofit the TSX projectors into your stock housings. First, as you know, the stock lights use H4 bulbs, which are dual-filament and produce both a low and a high beam. If you replace this setup with a TSX projector, you will be eliminating the high-beam function. The second issue is that you will need to fabricate some sort of bracket system to hold the projectors inside the housing, and you'll also need to develop a shroud or bezel to surround the projector.

The retrofit would be significantly easier if you began with a set of aftermarket projector Civic headlights. Some people do not like the appearance of these lights, but they would address both of the problems I mentioned above.
