are you looking for a plug and play kit? if you are, then whatever size your bulbs are now ( on the rsx it is h1) then look for an HID kit that is H1. however, if you have projectors (as in retrofits, OEM etc), use the correct bulb, most are D2S

here is a plug and play kit for all bulb sizes. just scroll down to single beam HID kit.

btw do you want to run HID's in BOTH the lowbeam and hibeam? i think getting it in the high beam is a waste of money because honestly how often are you going to use them? plus they'll blind the crap out of everyone. and flashing HID's is not recommended

no problem man, maybe sometime you should think of doing a projector retrofit, because HID's with all stock housings will glare a bit

um, not advised. that is not what that is used for. that is for H4 housings that want to use the D2S or D2R bulbs. your housing is a 9006.

9006 = HB4, not H4. Big difference.
