Hey honda-tech! first time posting. anyway does anyone know of a website where i could purchase headlights for my 98 civic coupe that already have HID projectors installed? or does anyone on this site make them?
I need new headlights not just the projectors becuase both of my headlights are broken and i cannot aim them... plus i envy people with retrofits
I already have HID's set up in my car just want to upgrade with projectors and not blind everyone at night.. thanks in advance!

 

I know there was a company where you could send your headlights to them, and they would do the retrofit for you. I can't think of the name. Also, user 'JDMLyfeStyle' on Honda-Tech does retrofits for people.

 

OK sweet! thanks for the help. ill pm him and see what he can do for me

You do realize your kit will not work if in fact you have a pnp kit, right?

 

Why not?

That wasn't the site I was thinking of, but thanks for posting it up!

 

Because your pnp kit uses rebased bulbs that if you want to fit them into any D2S projector they will either sit too far back or incorrected. That results into an incorrected ufo like beam that will case so much glare you'd blind oncoming traffic.
You can however reuse your ballast from your pnp kit but you'd need to buy some D2S/D2R amp adaptors and also buy D2S bulbs philips or Osram and hook it all up...

 

Bulbs on the right are Philips 85122+ D2S bulbs


OEM Denso Ballast...

 

Ok so all that i can use from my old setup is the ballasts?
Would it be worth it just to try and sell my plug and play kit and buy a new one that is 4300k? i have 6000k now and i like the look, but will the difference be enough to get a "true" 4300k setup?

All a ballast does is power up the bulb...
If you sell your pnp kit you will NOT get a decent amount for them. All you'll get is crap and u'd most likely end up spending more money.
the 6,000K is a colorshifted 85122 philips or Osram D2S bulb.
Or you can buy 6,000K philips Ultinion but they go for $250 a pair.
So what you can do is buy some used 85122 bulbs and some amp D2S/D2R adaptors for your ballasts to work...then some projectors and shrouds of course

 

Sounds good I think that is what ill do. Thank u Striker and all you guys for your help btw!

Sweet thanks for the write-up! could u see any problem doing this on some cheap ebay headlights though? i really want black housing headlights to better suit my car, even though ebay probably wont have good quality will it be ok for my setup?

 

no problem at all ...

Now I'm making the harness as we speak but igot no computer and I'm at a friends house doing a retro for him

 

Cool. So do you think that cheap ebay knockoff's will be ok? or can you see any problems using them other than possible fitment issues?

 

the only thing u'd not be able to use are the bulbs...the rest is usable...

 

Oh ok so all im going to need is the new bulbs, adaptors for my ballasts, then the projectors and headlights? also where would you suggest to get tsx projectors? http://www.customlightz.com/ sell them for $240 plus shipping

 

ebay...
remember tsx projectors use D2S bulbs...
if they tell you otherwise then it's not a true d2s projector
