I love'em. Osram 6000K HID kit. So much better than stock.

 

Looks really good. I'd ask some questions about HIDs since I don't know jack, but I'm afraid of the flaaaames....

 

most cameras cant capture the true color of HIDs but im sure they look good

 

hey, you don't know unless you ask!

Yah... in the pic it doesn't look any special, but in person u can definitly tell. IMO they were worth every dollar. It lights up the road so much better, I can see twice as far and twice as wide. They are aimed downward too.

 

for some reason, those lights look stock in that picture

 

Here are some better shots of the HID's. Took them earlier today in the garage.

 

i'm sorry, but what are HID's, excactly? I know the stock headlights on my civic suck, if these HID's are better, how much do they cost?

 

There brighter that stock headlights and cost around $500

 

High Intensity Discharge (HID) is a new type of lighting technology that replaces the old halogen gas bulbs that use a heated tungsten filament. HID lamps operate more like vapor filled streetlights. They don't have a filament but create light by zapping an arc between two electrodes. That arc excites a different kind of gas usually Xenon, which in turn ignites metallic salts. The light produced by an HID Xenon lighting system is greater than a standard halogen bulb and with less power consumption. On the road, HID Xenon lighting systems appear as a bright white beam which resembles natural daylight. The bright white beam offers greater visibility and road safety. HID systems are now found in luxury equipped cars such as the top of the line BMW, Lexus and Mercedes systems.

Most kits run around 400.00-600.00 check ebay and groupbuycenter.

 

In fact street lights (and most outdoor lighting), stadium lighting, xenon headlights, are all type of HID lighting. Most street lights are either metal halide (greenish-white) or mercury vapor (yellowish) HID. Cars, stadium lighting, and I believe timing lights use xenon HID.
