get new G2 black (or chrome) projector headlights from ebay for $175-$200 (these are the best looking and best performing projectors for EF), then look for a quality HID kit for 9006 bulbs. This is what I did. I didn't really look for a quality kit since i only had $300 to spend (for christmas)... anyway, I ended up gettin' a Hanabi 8000K purple HID kit. They look really really nice and really light up the road. I took head-on pictures of my HIDs last night, so I'll upload them when I get a chance tonight... I'll post before/after pics soon after...

get the projector headlights as he stated above... don't get 8000k, u will lose visibility and that would probably almsot be pink... get 4200k phillips hid, it is pure white and proven to provide the most light

you dont even need projectors. Just make sure to get a kit that is 9006 or that matches the headlights your using. And dont get anything over 5000k. 4300k is the best. And the serach buttom would suprise you

Not on my car. I don't even own a Honda at the moment (that will change by the end of this week). I just searched the archived topics and found a thread about HID's in CRX's and other EF's.
