HID on your Civic FD

H11 for the foglights..

finally put on my HIDs.. after purchasin it lik 3 weeks ago.. ha

placed the ballasts under the headlight area.. fits very nicely

The HID glare from the Civic is quite bad :(

I have seen the cops stopping 2 Civics with HIDs so far, not sure if they were done for because of the lights or something else.

You guys should make proper projector housing conversion, and aim them properly.

there will always be glare if they aren't projectors.
your more likely to get pulled for HID's then defect on other things.. rather then the other way around.
risky business! i know im not getting any =]

Yeah there's always gonna be glare, just depends on how much.

I've got HIDs in my civic, but i've also lowered the car too. Makes it slightly better though.

wonder how it will go in my car now.. .
i look on street signs while i go past and it bounces up and down on them with normal bulbs
how low are you ?

ive got 13cm clearance off the ground which is low enough for me (10cm being legal limit), any lower and i'll be scrappin even harder

i aint too concern with glare from HIDs as it looks fine when i look back from afar and besides i see heaps of cars that glare.

the thing tat seems to annoy me abit is a faint electrical sound coming from the ballasts, thinkin of getting buddyclub racing spec condenser to stabilise any electrical noise and voltage spikes

i went past 2 cop cars tonight with my 6000k HIDs and my blue LED parkers on and they just drove past

thats right.. respect

Hey guys just bought a HID kit and just not sure where to put the ballast. Ive read where you guys have put them and I came across this:

http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/light...tallation.html

Is this a good place to put them? Also if I put the ballast following the tutorial in the link, is it safe for the ballast to be held on by that one screw?

Thanks

mine is the same for the left wheel but different on the right wheel
on the left side, the one screw if u screw it tightly it is fine
also mine are held up by zip ties in case anything happens
i removed my front bumper to put in my HIDs instead of the wheel arch.
