I have a kit from http://www.xenondepot.com
I got them back in august of last year and love them...
Here are some pics.
This is broad daylight, if you can't see the difference, then sell your RSX


This is me on the left and a 2002 TL-S on the right, mine are a tad brighter


This is a good idea of how white they get, 4,300K kit that is


Here you can see the difference from low and high...The lows look yellow


This is how blue they look when they are first turned on

Mine are 4300K so they are cool. plus the JDM hid headlamp makes it shine straight. Not like those cheap retro kits.

as far as jdm headlamps go. i thought because japan drives on the left side of the road they angle left. which means over here you will be blinding oncomeing traffic. im pretty sure about this

I have the XD 6000K Kit. That is purple-white. I also have the JDM housings and the beam does shoot to the left. The housings also make the right light look more purple than the left due to the angle of the light. Besides those minor but pesky imperfections, I am happy with this kit. It looks very professional and I don't ever worry about cops pulling me over

My brother had Maxima Hid then swithed to 5finger BMW Hid I can ask him if you want. In new York People try selling you HIDs on every corner. Stolen of course.

it does but it's all about how you angle you HIDs. You can still have very bright lights and not bother the other side of traffic.

You can actually cover the but off angle. I understand how the HID works so I can make it shine straight. I'll try to find pics and show you guys.

Please post the cut off patterns, When I check the TL, and TSX, and RL's at work the cut-off patterns are all the same....

They look like "L" Patterns...with an adjustment for height only.

One for each lens assembly....If the JDM units are like that, then you are ok, right?

When I adjusted the right headlight on the JDM spec units higher, I found I can see the drivers faces on opposite traffic. Did you also adjust the L/R? or just the U/D?

Negative sir, only way to really fix this problem is to grab and retrofit the OEM reflectors into the JDM. You can angle the bulbs only so much, but the light still uses those reflectors and the beam pattern in turn hits to the left... big discussion on this one in the CRSX forums
