Icon2 HID setup suggestions for '08 Civic EX?

Hey what's up Forum, I'm new here and just want some advice. For christmas I'm planning on buying my brother some HID's for his '08 Civic EX and just want to know what the most reliable, and cost affordable brand is out there. I have $200 ready to the throw down, maybe a little more it depends. I would really appreciate some of your opinions. Thanks.

If you're only going to spend that much, don't even bother. Generally, HIDs are illegal in cars that don't come with them from the factory.

I hate people who drive with HID kits in cars with reflector headlight housings.

I would ask around in the honda-tech lighting subforum.

Do it right and get projector HIDs.

I have this on my FG1: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/pr...7f311636dd52d2

Not the best projector out there, but it's easy to install and bests any of the POS PnP HIDs out there.
