ne advice would help.

 

From what I've read I can tell you a little of what I know. the main problem is that your using an HID bulb in a halogen headlight housing which has different reflection characteristics. The only way to really fix it is to do some kind of retro fit.

 

hmm...so ur sayin/..i shold get sum projectors?

 

do a search for retrofit HIDs you'll find plenty of info there, I've told you all I really know about HID kits from companies.

 

Not just any projectors .. if your going to do projectors you need projectors that were made for hid bulbs. You would take the hid projectors that come stock in another vehicle such as an Audi, or others, and you would put them in your projector housing.

Retro fit is better because using hid in halogen headlamps scatters light everywhere since the reflectors were not made for the light output of hid bulbs. Doing a retro fit allows you to reflect the light where it is supposed to go, and you would have a proper cut off line as well.

Do a search on retro fits and you will find billions of posts.
Here is a link to a DIY i found doing a search, although it's for a 92-95 civic it will help you get the drift. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1317174
And oh yeah, for better visibility in the rain, i don't think you can go wrong with getting some fog lights.
