Default S2k HID's on a RSX

would a s2000 hid system fit on a rsx? I think they both use H1 bulbs too.

Not really. If you found a way to mount the projector beams into the RSX housings then yes...the S2K uses the standard DS2 HID bulb...The RSX uses the H-1 halogen lamps for low and high beams.

The problem with installing HIDs from another car is being able to adjust them and take them out. I have a couple friends with Acura TL/Maxima HIDs in their cars. They cant level their lights, one of my friends lights point so high up that you can see people on the second floor of a house. If you pay the little bit extra for real HID kits, you'll see a world of difference, not to mention you can install them on your next car, your neighbors car or any other car out there. All you would need is the right bulb and the right car.

No you will need an aftermarket HID kit that includes an H1 rebased HID bulb
