ok heres the deal i bought a HID KIT for my 96 civic hb awhile back but never install it. and now im trying to install it today. everything works. but when i put it into the headlight the socket is too small so it slip right into the headlights..by the way i got the oem headlight for the civic. so i was wondering if i need to get an aftermarket headlight or are there a conversion so the HID can sit and lock into place? help would be great...

 

what do you mean the socket is to small? the bulb it self or where the bulb goes into the headlight??

no, as long as you have h4 bulbs you dont need any sort of aftermarket headlight.

 

i dont have the h4 bulbs...i got the skinny bulbs. and the socket im talking about is the part where the bulb goes into the headlight...

 

i think that's your problem right there....you have the wrong bulbs

 

What bulb did you get? H1?

Your bulb size should be H4. It seems like you purchased the wrong kit for your car.

The only way to make those work is to get projectors, since most of them take the H1 style bulb.

Pictures of what you have no might help produce more suggestions.

 

yessir sounds like wrong bulbs! hope u can exchange them if not then sell them

 

yes its the wrong bulbs...i got them awhile back brand new and never used it. till not i got my new car and decided to take them out to install them and now nope, it wont fit. well i need the h4 series now...but the one i got is the 9006. fit integra tho i test it on my brother's car. but took it back out. well if anyone wanna trade for a p75 ecu obd2. (integra ls ecu) let me know. or sell for 95.00 and again its brand new just hook everything up today and test it to see if it work and it does. but wont fit my car. and i dont like projectors for the ek hatches so i'll just sell or trade it. thanks for all the helpfull comments..
