I have seen a lot of threads on 8thcivic and Fgcoupe where people have HID kits on their new civics. I would like to purchase one, but I don't have my si yet, so I can't check want bulbs it uses, and I have absolutely no idea where to look and what to look for. Can someone point me in the right direction and not just give me a link to eBay? I am looking for the 6K color. I believe that is the light blue/white one. I don't want the white, but I don't want purple. I like the blue. I will have smoked headlights once I get my car, if that helps. Thanks. Post pics if you have HIDs.

The Civic uses 9006 for its headlights

and check xenondepot.com they have a FAQ section

i've purchased 5 HID kits all from Xenondepot.com

i JUST got my 5th kit yesterday lol for my retrofit i'm planning for the si

Projectors and new headlights are in my house too

SHOULD BE FUNNNNN

 

Nice. I was looking on that website, but I didn't really know what to get. So I should get a kit for 9006 bulbs? Post some pics when you are finished.

yea any kit with a 9006 should be fine for you
and just for quick reference

HIgher the K... the bluer/purpler it is and LESSS light on the road
LOWER the k ...the whiter it is and more USABLE light on the road

 

Yea I have found that out during research. I think a happy median for me is the 6K because it is the color I want and it will give me some good output. Now what about our fogs? I saw someone had HID fogs. How would I go about doing that?

 

I just looked at that website and it says you need to disable your drls. Is this needed for every kit? If so, I will just take out the fuse, but I wanted to have drls.

our DRL's are seperate headlights (hi beam) so you should be fine

 

Picked mine up off Ebay. But I wish I had done more research before buying. Cause i got to high of color. I got 12K Bulbs. They look good, but not much road light. Oh well better luck next time.
