They are like every other HID kit out there. Except they are application specific... You don't have a 240sx ora Silvia do you?

I think it was just saying what cars with certain headlights would work with their kit

Any car will be able to use it. you just have to order the right bulb bases. H1, H4, 9005, 9006, 9007 etc.

This is the big deal. I will put my TSX HID up against your crappy halogen and see what the differance is.

This is my TSX HID. Do you your halogen put out this light? I think not!!!

They are not bad. Best bang for the buck i guess. Theres a group buy going in the sponsor section by MFactory. 210 shipped for that exact kit.

just FYI. hid kits dont really last all that long, even with a igniter and a ballast. after around 2000 hours or so they tend to give out.

Anything that takes time is usually worth it in the long run. Look at cavemans retrofit cutoff picture, and then tell me that thats not worth some time??? If you dont wanna do it, send it to Bjorn at http://www.customlightz.com . He does great work and has awesome customer service.

Are you kidding? The retrofit that Bjorn does looks like the lights came right from the factory with HIDs in them. Check out this picture and tell me it doesnt look oem.

Its bascially when you put something where its not originally from. What we are talking about is putting the projectors from an acura tsx headlight into our civic headlight. Thats is called retrofitting b/c you have to customize your civic headlight to make the projectors fit.
