projector/hid?? need opinion!
hey,
i have a 95 civic with halo/projectors. to me i like the look but at night its shitty with the light. can't see ****! my question is how will it look like with hid? will it be the same with the ugly cut-off? i have pics below. i know that tyc headlight are better for hid and retrofit is the best. but i want to know if it will look the same. also putting hid on oem headlight, will that cause the hid to blurr everywhere. which is better?
how it look like in daytime.
now! at night the light!
this is what i see when im driving in my car!ugly!

Those look like Denjis but I can't tell from that small of a pic. If you just get the plug and play HID's then yes, they will have the same horrible *** light output. If you do a correct Hid retrofit from a bmw or such, you will have a wonderful light output.

Stock headlights will be night and day. Much better.
Those headlights suck ***.
That's probably way below the legal limit of lumens output for headlights.
Very dangerous.

$100 headlights are still crappy.
Go back to OEM and if you want black housings, paint them yourself.
If you HAVE to have something off ebay, go with TYC, they're crap too, but a better level of crap.

Did you try just getting some good bulbs? I have the TYC 1 pieces in my 95 civic and I put some new bulbs (ultra white or whatever they are called) in and the light output is good. I also just ordered a HID kit so I will post a thread once that is installed.
I am guessing the bulbs yours came with were really crappy so I would try buying some new ones first. Then if the output still sucks go back to OEM or try HID's.

Pnp is actually pretty good. You actually see better than stock. But it blinds the f*ck outta everyone else and it looks distorted. Retros are the way to go...but only if you got the money/skills/time. Whatever.
