HID on your Civic FD

bump - anyone else have problems getting a bulb in?

Nup mine fit fine :)

the 3000k is cool.. xD

anyone in melbourne know where to get the kaixen HID kits locally and how much it costed?

Pm the trader, he is melb based

For the ones looking to get HIDs I'd recommend ebay.
I'd used an ebay set for 2 years and had no issues.
Models and quality may vary, but you can't beat the price.

Did you guys adjust your lights after installing the HIDs?

I just installed less than a week ago, everytime I pass cops they just glare at me now =\

Thinking that I should adjust my lowbeams a bit...

you're suppose to aim your headlights down when you install HID

How much should I move it down? Is there some guide or something to it, or whatever's good?

there are legal heights/angles to which the headlights must be aimed to, and with HID's you should probably aim them even lower to control the excessive output.


headlight aiming DIY
basically, use a screwdriver to turn that gear, don't spend ages trying to figure out 'where the screw is' like i did...

Sweet! You guys are the best :D

Are those values in the guide close enough to the aus heights? Sounds easy enough.

nah stuff those, use ur own discression when aiming them. Aim down a bit, and stand say 20m away and see how the glare is.

I once aimed them so low that my cutoff was around 10m in front of me. Couldn't see shit
