The point is, unless you are 110% sure the reflectors fitted on the AUDM Civics are designed to handle/for HID's, lets leave assumptions just that. 'Assumptions'

Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

Good on ya, i'm more interested in keeping information that is not misleading.

S2000 projectors with Philips 85122 burners, this is the definition of "no glare".
It doesn't matter what temp your bulbs are, 3000K or a million K, if the headlight housing was not designed for xenon bulbs then it shouldn't be there.

That is correct. Check out this infor from Wikipedia about HID/Xenons
Despite marketing claims to the contrary, HID headlamps' light output is not similar to daylight. The spectral power distribution (SPD) of an automotive HID headlamp is discontinuous, while the SPD of a filament lamp, like that of the sun, is a continuous curve.
The arc within an HID headlamp bulb generates considerable short-wave ultraviolet (UV) light, but none of it escapes the bulb. A UV-absorbing hard glass shield is incorporated around the bulb's arc tube. This is important to prevent degradation of UV-sensitive components and materials in headlamps, such as polycarbonate lenses and reflector hardcoats. The lamps do emit considerable near-UV light.
European vehicles equipped with HID headlamps are required by ECE regulation 48 also to be equipped with headlamp lens cleaning systems and automatic beam levelling control. Both of these measures are intended to reduce the tendency for high-output headlamps to cause high levels of glare to other road users.
HID headlamp bulb types D1R, D1S, D2R, D2S and 9500 contain the toxic heavy metal mercury. The disposal of mercury-containing vehicle parts is increasingly regulated throughout the world, for example under US EPA regulations. Newer HID bulb designs D3R, D3S, D4R, and D4S contain no mercury, but are not electrically or physically compatible with headlamps designed for previous bulb types.
The arc light source in an HID headlamp is fundamentally different from the filament light source used in tungsten/halogen headlamps. For that reason, HID-specific optics are used to collect and distribute the light. Installing HID bulbs in headlamps designed to take filament bulbs results in improperly-focused beam patterns and excessive glare, and is therefore illegal in almost all countries.
Its likely to be a dangerous excersise doing xenon conversions. Just stick to what you have.

but... who cares?? as long as you set the lights not to be too high..
why do you need the jet washer :s to wash off the light?
