Hey guys I was planning to buy a integra with a non hid front end.
my question is will i have to change the headlights to convert it to hid or can i just buy a hid kit and plug it up?

 

You can buy a plug and play kit that would work, but if you want the true hid experience, you can retro fit your jdm non-hid headlights and upgrade with tsx or s2000 projectors. That will be x10 brighter.

 

The OEM ITR non-HID and HID's are different. The HID lights have the ballasts built right onto the light assembly and also have a clear lens where the HID projects through. If you want to get the OEM HID's they are different than the non-HID's. or you could do like mentioned above and do a retrofit, but the OEM ones are different..

 

Personally I would visit our Expo sponsor Custom Lightz. Rather than spend $200 on a plug in play kit with so-so output, or $750+ on a set of HID headlights (used) you can spend $650 on a retrofit. Included in that price they can buff and sand your headlights, add new sealer, install TL/S2K ballasts, and have many custom options available. The final result is much better IMO.
