this is a 95' dc4. i stumbled upon the "retrofit club" thread and got curious so i went to my car and looked at my lights.theylook like projectors, but i also read that only 98' and up integras have these [oem]. so are they projectors? ((pictures 1 and 2)





i also want to know if i have the 97' and under front bumber or 98' and up? i seem to have some fitment issues although neither bumber nor fender are bend/damaged ((pictures 3 and 4))

 

they look like them to me.
take the bulb out take a pic and post it up. that will let us know if it is retrofited for sure.
but then again they be halos. i just looked at it again and it looks like a halo ring around it.

 

yeah you have halo projector headlights on right now.

also, i am going to guess that you have an aftermarket 94-97 bumper, because it doesn't say "INTEGRA" next to the H emblem, which could explain the fitment issues.

 

well here are pictures of the bulb and how/ its mounted. the white lines are to indicate the tape i use to hold em' in since they fit a little loose.



*edit= i have poor lighting btw, well compared to my mom's truck

 

nope no retro fit here.

you have halos

 

so then i have 95' and up headlights?

 

if i get a hid kit, will it have the cut-off line? or will the light be all over the place?

 

light all over

 

no you most likely have crappy aftermarket "halo" prjectors which are meant to look like BMW headlights with their "halo"... which would explain the crappy fitment and why the bulb wants to fall out...

any stock integra from 94' - 01' have projector headlamps but they are made for halogen bulbs...

the reason people do a retrofit is to put projectors in the stock headlight housing that can handle the increased light output of HID bulbs... they usually use projectors out of s2000's or TSX's which are made for HID bulbs...

hope that helps

 

would these cheap projectors also have the alignment screws that come on the oem headlamps? they appear on the owners manual, they tell you how to tilt them up/down and left/right. my lights have that

 

they should... I had plenty aftermarket headlights (civic) and they all had alignment screws. take a look?

 

yep they should even if their aftermarket.. if not they probably wouldnt be street legal

 

my lights have them.

the cut-off wont be great but it would better then the oem light.
ive seen some crappy ebay lights in my day but damn those are the worst.

 

my lights?
