so i want to put hids on my eg6 and dont want to go with halos or projectors cause i like the oem look...any ideas what kind of headlights i can get that still look stock but i can use for hids....need help thanks guys

 

The best option you'd be able to find would be European E-code headlamps, but even those would be far from ideal.

 

so keep the stock headlights and use casper shields and d2r bulbs. look here http://www.hidexpert.com

 

what are casper shields? have you used this setup?

 

The glare that hids cause is caused by light reflecting of off the botom of the reflector and shines upwards.
The casper shield is a small "shield" that prevents light to reflect form the bottom of the reflector. Its placed under the bulb (between the bulb and the reflector)

do a search on http://www.hidplanet.com/forums or http://www.hidexpert.com

 

Before you invest in $150+ plug and play kits that arne't street legal and blind oncoming traffic, I recommend you get some good halogens.

Try the phillips Xtreme, it's not purple, but it actually lights up the road.

Are you doing it for looks, or tired of crappy lighting?

 

retro-fit some infinite m35 hids on ur car or something. best way to do it. OEM look with HID lighting

 

Casper shields are a form of "glare shield" that also serves as a mounting adapter to fit a standard D2R HID capsule in an H4 halogen housing. The do reduce glare and allow the capsules to be installed, but the results are still less than ideal.

 

it is, best way is to retrofit or like "ek forever guy" said, invest in good halogens since that's what your lights are made for!

 

just retro fit some OEM projectors into your OEM headlights. thats as stock as you can get. i recommend TSX projectors.

 

or if you want to keep the brights some e46, but those might be to big for the eg headlights.

try contacting a guy on here called "jdmlifestyle" he did a retro on his eg headlights

ive got the casper shields and acura d2r bulbs in my stock 95 civic housings, and the results are pretty good with minimal to no glare. i also have audi a4 projectors with acura d2r bulbs in black depo headlights in my 94 civic these have the perfect cutoff and have no glare. im extremely happy with both setups, as they both give me much better lighting, and i dont have everybody flashing highbeams at me like i used too with my old plug n play kit. although it did cost alot more for the audi and depo setup. good luck with your setup, if done right you will enjoy it far better than any halogen lamps.

thanks for the help guys the reason why i want hids is because im tired of crappy lighting i just might go with retro fitting some in my housings

 

when you retrofit, it is expensive but well worth it.

I ended up spending $550 on my HID setup with TYC projector headlights. They were awesome.

Using the stock headlights just sucks, maybe like said find some depo lights, they are very similar to stock headlights but they have projectors instead, then you can use these to retro HID. But, they are hard to find these days.

retrofitting takes skills...specially on headlights that come stock with reflectors bc u gots alot of trimming to do yet u gotta make it look nice.
If u buy projector headlights and want to swap hid projectors for those halogen projectors already in your projector housing...chances are, sucky projectors such as the s46 and valeo's will fit and u won't benefit much from those.

 

pimp your headlights!! with oem stuff of course:

 

what projectors are those? for a retro

 

fx on the left which is what i'll be using...
tsx on the right which i just sold for 110

 

damn 110?! very cheap. aye i saw your id on hidplanet. check your PM here.

 

just did a research...check your PM

 

is the USDM housing any different then the JDM ?


I heard you couldn't retro fit HID in the JDM head lights

 

these are the tyc...
every housing can be retrofitted...
just need skills for that
