i have HID bulbs if that's what you're talking about.....
Catz "Galaxy White" 130W HB# 12V
i use them in my highbeams and they're really bright....
the colour comes out as kindof a pinky white but it's brighter than anybulb i've seen, i'm not really concerned with them being that colour either cause noone will see them when i'm driving

Here is a link with a few pictures of the Phillips HID's installed in a CRX...not my car...not my site.

http://users.ev1.net/~shinglin/cars/...hting/hid.html

The kit you see pictured was ordered from "Phoenix Micro-Lite". Good luck finding their website. I tried and tried and kept ending up with dead links. If you happen to come upon their website shoot me an e-mail!!

you must not have had a 9006 retrofit kit.. because i had HID on my integra for 3 years, and i swear by it..

i didnt even have OEM integra headlights.. they were some aftermarket TYC headlights that body shops buy when they wanna cash in on you and buy $100 aftermarket housings instead of the $350 OEM housings..

here is my integra beams with halogen..


and here is my 4300K philips 9006 kit.

Maybe you just got the wrong bulb? ::shrugs::


<u>There are 2 types of HID bulbs, D2S and D2R.</u>

The D2R is for a reflector type housing.
The D2S is for a projector type housing.

Are you sure you had the correct bulb for your application?

i finally got mine in the mail today! I installed them and lemme tell you they look badASS! i can't wait until tonight to see how bright they really are! in the day i can tell i have really bright headlights from the reflection on peoples' rear bumpers/hatchs etc. when i get outta the car and stand a few yards away, nothing from the projector lens appears yellow... ALL WHITE and since i got the 8000K kit, you can totally see a purple tint to it... niiiice... they look so cool when they warm up!

i will post pics of before and after the conversion when i get the chance!

i wonder how long these hanabi's r gonna last me...

I think I'm going to get me a set of HID's soon too...but I have 1 worry, I get condensation inside my headlights, I don't think it'll pop a bulb...b/c it hasn't yet, but is there a way to take apart the headlights and clean the inside? Mine seem to have a tint of yellowish in them. If not I'll just install the kit and let it shine, b/c I can't see a ******* thing in the road until it's 3 feet away.

use the oven method, buff them with a nice cleaner put them back on, aim them correctly.. HID will not make condensation.. they go in just like your stock bulb if u get a prefitted kit..

what's the oven method?

also, i just looked at that link above, maybe mine seem yellow just when the light is on. when you compare the hid to the bulb in that one pic, it looks extremely yellow. If my HID's turned out like that i'd be fine.
