Like the topic says....whichHID system is better? I have read (not certain) that in order to install factory HID on a JDM conversion, you will have to bend the AC lines a bit. I am assuming you won't have to do this with a philips 9006 HID kit. But which one is better? Which one will have better lighting?
OEM Honda HID ballast and bulbs in a OEM HID JDM headlight housing will look and peform best as the optics were designed to reflect HID beams. So to answer your question, OEM HID is better IF its in a OEM HID headlight housing.
OEM HID Projector housing is specifically made for HID's, whereas the non-HID's are not. You will have a better output w/ the OEM HID's. As for installin the OEM HID's, they were very simple, it took me about 10 seconds to bend the a/c line, its not bad at all. If you have the money, go for the OEM HID's. I did. and Im glad. (I also had a Hella HID kit before and it wasnt as nice as the OEM HID's)
Hope this helps

oem hid's look nice...i have some on my car. The only con is that the left beam will always shine higher than the right no matter how much you adjust it. They are made to drive on the right side of the road. keep this in mind. Right now I have mine adjusted so the left beam does not hit on coming traffic....but because of this my right side is quite low.
just make sure u stay with 4300..and not 6000
