i know i should know this, but what is the HID bulb used in an 2003 civic coupe?

i'm kind of dumb when it comes to HIDs, i want to make sure i purchase the right stuff the first time. i have read about them and seen 2 different bulbs.

thanks

 

Civic's don't come with HID's...you getting a hid kit or what?

no he's buying painted bulbs

 

h4 is your bulb size,

you can buy a plug and play H4 HID kit,
or you can buy a regular "HID"-look bulbs in the H4 size, for example, "silvania superstar"

 

yeah i am buying a kit

Thanks Guys!

 

if you get a kit, be sure to get bulbs with shields built around the bulbs.

 

any recommendations for kits or good places (websites) to look?

 

don't we need projectors to run HIDs?
or could we use stock headlights? I've never seen these HID kits with shield over bulb.

 

i will be purchasing projectors too.

 

the shields reduces the glare on reflector headlights.

if your going to buy HID projectors then H4 is not the application, they should be D2S

 

i just got the projectors in the mail yesterday, took the bulbs out and they are H3's.

Any recommendation on where to get a good HID kit?

 

projectors just give you a cut off (well if you retrofit) if you get the projectors for our cars you know the "jdm" ones, you wont have a good enough cut off like people like. i think thats why people get the projectors. or because they are jus rice.

im running HID's w factory headlight assembly and it looks great

jus some ideas. (2004 civic)

Ok, I just got projector headlights from autodynamic in the mail (http://www.autodynamic.com/detail.as...D=HC01PHCC-G2). The bulbs are H3. I am now looking for an H3 HID kit. Any recommendations on where to buy or which one to get? There was a kit on http://xenoneyes.com/index.php?page=hidkits , they are $155 shipped.

Any help or comments will be helpful.
