I NEED help.... i bought a plug and play hid kit for my 2000 civic si... but i went to get it installed... and found out that there is no power going to the ballast... do i need something else for a plug and play kit? Or is it that its done...? and if so do i need a new one

 

you should have retro fitted your lights instead....

 

i bought ctr headlights and i want to put hids on becuz there not as bright

 

Check all of the connections, make sure they are connected tightly and securely, then let us know if your ballasts arent getting any power.

 

i had it checked... i was told theres no power coming from the ballast....also they sed the ballast was DONE.... shorted.. i dont kno if you can fix those....Can you?

He means put stock HIDs from another car into your headlights. It looks better and doesn't blind on coming drivers. HID kits = illegal.

 

from wat i was told hid arent illegal if you get bright ones....

You seem to be quite misinformed.

Equipping a vehicle with aftermarket HIDs is illegal. No way around it. Even retrofitting "stock" HIDs from other vehicles into a non-HID equipped vehicle is illegal. You're not as likely to be hassled for having a retrofit, because you have a proper cut-off and aren't flare-blinding the entire road.

PnP HID kits are garbage, plain and simple. They have improper aiming, little to no cutoff, and the colors most people choose are not conducive to good visibility.

Invest in some decent H4 bulbs for your civic instead of a piece-of-trash HID kit. More light does not mean more visibility. Check the links in my sig to see a review of the Philips X-Treme Power H4 bulbs, and also the lighting FAQ to learn a little more on a subject you know very little about.
