There's about 8 DIY threads with the required supplies.

Before buying ebay projectors, go on ebay and search for any of these, they will all fit integra housings:

Valeo DOT D2S (Audi A4)
Hella Single Xenon (Audi A6)
Hella Bi-Xenon (RS6/A6)
Bosch Bi-Xenon (E46)
Bosch Single Xenon (E46)
Infinity FX35/45 Bi-Xenon (FX)
Infinity G35 Bi-Xenon
Stanley Low Beam (TSX)
Hella 2ND Gen Bi-Xenon (E55)
Hella Single Xenon (E55)
Hella Single Xenon (E39/X5)
RX330 AFS Projectors
RX330 None AFS
S2K Projectors

Some of them will run you upwards of 100 per projector, but others will sell for less than 50 bucks. Just stay away from the hid stores which have extreme markup. If you watch ebay over the course of maybe 2 weeks you could find a good deal on the cheaper projectors.

 

the e55 projectors fit the best. tl's are a tight fit cause of the high beam solenoid placement. tsx is only a 2.5 inch lense--integra is 3 inch stock.

 

ok cool.. so i am going to just find the head lights or the projector its self and i guess i need the ballast for the same car too right...

 

u just get the projector, a retro fit isnt a whole new headlight, its putting hid projectors into ur stock headlights

 

i know that you reuse your stock headlights.. cool i am going to get the e55 projectors and and what ballast and light bulb do i use?? i guess the same exact one.. that e55 uses or what??

 

Nope, you can use whatever ballast you want. You can go OEM Acura/Nissan/Lexus/Audi/MB/BMW, whatever, it doesn't matter. Oem ballasts will probably run you about 100 for the pair.

You can also purchase aftermarket ballasts, but I would probably stick with those with a good warranty. Search for DDM, they make decent ballasts for super cheap.

As for bulbs, do not run anything other than OEM philips bulbs. Aftermarket bulbs are crap in terms of output and they put out a lot of heat which will destroy your projectors.

 

Ok.. cool.. i am going to start buying all these parts which are not that much and see how this retrofit stuff is like.. But before i do that i am going to do some more research on this so i don't mess it up.. because these are my only tailights that i am going to have to do this retrofit.. thanks for all the advice.. to all that responed...

 

It makes everything go smoother if you get a 2nd pair of headlights. Gives you time to do things correctly and not rush. Integra lights are one of the easier lights to do. Plenty of people have done them. Look up Dark Angel on Hidplanet, hes got lots of pictures and he has no problem offering advice.
