HID on your Civic FD

[stanz86]

so, those using the high quality kits like Kaixen etc, how long have your bulbs lasted? Are the branded ones justifiable for price over those 100 bucks China kits?

+1. but it's luck of the draw really, china kits don't understand quality control.

some die, some don't.

Hi all,

I'm having a little issue with my H11 55W HID kit for my foggies. I have tested the kit individually and they work fine but once I install both of them, only the right hand side one works. Then I tried unplugging the right kit and the left side foggies works. I suspect it's an issue of not enough current since I have tested the socket with a multimeter and they both showing 12V. Do you reckon I should get the 35W kit instead?

Any suggestion...??

try mcculoch for HID kit it really last my H4 in my EG lasted for a year now and still working high quality planning to buy one for my FD =)....but it aint cheap but its quality proven!

I bought this kit from ebay so it's not worth sending it back to get a refund so I would like to figure out a way to make this kit work for now.
The stock bulb was 55W so I reckon it should be able to run 55W HID kit but still no dice.
Any help will be appreciated.
