The kit includes: 2 philips d2s bulbs, 2 hella ignitors, 2 hella ballasts, and 2 wire harnesses. Is this all I would need? Thanks

HID bulbs are only 35 watts, i din't think you have to worry about melting.

I'm runing on oem S200 HID system in my CRX with APC projo's.

Look up in the FAQ link at the top of the CRX/Civic Forum and near the end is a link to my old OEM HID how to post into crx headlights. It should help you out a ton.

HId will not melt your houseing. They run cooler than a stock 9006 bulb. Make sure those d2s bulbs have a 9006 base or you are going to have to do some custom work to get them to work.

Check in the FAQ at the top like Bryant said.

The whole point of HID is higher efficiency. HID lights convert a MUCH higher percentage of input power into actual light. So (1) less heat is produced because less is wasted, and 92) less is produced because less power is required to produce the same amount of light.
