Pics of a 03 Civic HID retrofit

BMW 5-series projectors were mounted inside a 2003 Honda Civic housing. The beam pattern is just like what you see on a 5-series. It also has that purple flicker when you go over a bump in the road.

Normally, installing HID lights in a Civic creates much glare.. With this complete projector swap, there is no glare and the output looks much more impressive than a kit alone.

It wasn't aimed when this photo was snapped. This is also the passenger side only...driver side wasn't in when this photo was taken.

Looks very good, how long did it take you and how much did you pay for the whole set up, and also how hard was it to install.

Re: (blackhatchy)

I do retrofitting as a side business. The only costs were the equipment I needed (~350 from ebay).

Everyone has their own method of retrofitting, and there's lots of info available on hidforum.com on how to do this.
