well obviously you are going ot have to retrofit those HIDs into your civic housings...... i guess good deal for 200 as long as you got everything including BALLASTS... but really you shoudl have just got a aftermarket HID kit that has H4 bulbs.....
i found a set of aftermarket ballast for 150 bux and got the H4 bulbs off ebay for 100 bux and they were pretty good

Its bascially when you get a projector from the HID headlight and open up your headlight and bascially build it into your headlight

HEY HEY HEY I think he should do something if we say its cool!
j/k anyway I like HID's I like how the light is so bright that you can see it in the daytime. My only thing is if you get HID's get like a lexus or bimmer kit and get the projector's too....

Re: hid. are they worth having? (jvcnyc)
HIDs are ok, i have them on my car a there is a few things i dont like. I have a xenondepot 4100K kit, great kit but civics werent meant to have HIDs. One of the things i dont like is the glare, tremendous amount of glare. Also there is no cut off line so the light output is very sloppy, and the beam pattern is all over the place. It is definitely bling though and i can see a bit more of the road at night too. I think retrofitting a projector HID might be the best thing to do. I say you give it a shot.
