The only right way is do a damn Xenon projector lens from a car that has HID and do a retro fit. Your aftermarket kit from ebay might look cool, let it look cool all you want but when that on coming traffic cant see the road correctly because your lights are aimed wrong and you cause an accident dont come whinning on this board saying your car is wrecked or something.
Do HID the right way "RETRO-FIT"

HID Kit
The best HID kit I found is from PlasmaGarage.Com It's very good quality kit and I suggest the 6000K because it puts out the highest lumen from a colored (purplish-white) HID kit. The higher the Kelvin, the more it gets dim on the lunmen (plus it looks like you have those fake blue bulbs because it's now so blue!)

evidently yours look like this
and the one that did a real hid projector retrofit looks like this
copied this from someone else retro fit on a tc
Like i said do it the right way or not do it all all. Just dont do it just cause you think it looks cool. You are the type of person that makes it dangerous for others on the road. Also why do you think NHTSA made it illegal to do after market HID???

Nice.
I have 6K HIDs (philips ultinon) on my Integra right now, which I will be swapping over to my tC (when I get it, that is).
I got my kit from xenondepot.com, they are awesome.

im sorry man... i'm wrong you're right.
i guess even though that beam is evenly spread and on a brick wall and the cut off is beautiful and no hot spots. But yours is the BEST
out there
Make me wished i never got a tC

As most of you may already know (not tryint to ***** post) you an also purchse hid conversion kit on ebay. If you look for a few days before your purchase you may find a slightly better deal than from the website itself. I would venture to say would be a persoanl preference. My friend bought his on ebay used for like 200 bucks and no problems. work great and look great. just some more advice/opinion/option for some people

And my .02 about projector retrofits. and the difference in projector vs. standard headlights in general.
I am not stating facts here. this is all my OPINION !!
Bright is bright wether its beeing projector throught a focused beam or not. If you look at our headlight allumination on the road. Some of you may see if similar to a projector houseing. There is a "fake cutoff line" look. While at the same time there is the glare of 2 individual bulbs. I do see a resemblance in our headlights to a projector headlight.
Sure a projector light may be better cuz it does focuse the beam on the road but I am very picky bout my lighting on the road. I am all for HID kit also. But if you look at most cars or drive in most cars you will see that most headlights dont have the resemblance of a projector lense as to ours do. Most standard headlights fade as they go down the road and to the side. but ours simply have a sut off line to them. Not as sharp as projector but I see it is there. You can really notice this if you drive down a dark road wit trees on the side. as you hit bumps and the road goes up and down you will see our lights "jump" and you will notice this line. as to most cars do not do that cuz the light output just fades cause of the design of the headlight.
Since our headlights sit far back in the houseing and the houseing has that clear strip across the top ( which would be perfect for a strip of amber leds for turn signals) It makes the light have a cut out line. As most headlights arent just simply designed like that they will not have that cutoff line.
Any opinions or feedback on this would be great. And like I said this is just my opinion and my opinion only. I am not stating my information is factual or not.
