Another "silly" questions from me
1. Have you installed the BBK?How do you feel after installing it?
2. If not mistaken you got HID kit installed on your odyssey. where did you hide the ballasts as it is illegal to install HID kit right?And how did you adjust the level?

Parker lights are the ones at the front next to your low beams but inside your high beam lens.

1) i only installed wiper slot front rotors and better brake pads. Calipers are the same. It feels much better than the stock rotors and stops quicker!

2) i did have HID but the bulbs were defective. So right now im not running them until the replacements arrive but still have the ballasts installed.

The ballasts are installed next to the top strut towers. As pictured on my pics. Others have installed theirs under the headlight housing. Icbf taking out my headlights hence why i installed them where i placed it. Looks legit and professional.

Its not illegal to run HID on our cars as they came HID option and we have projector lenses. As long as you dont use stupid colours above 8000k lumins then you should be right.

U shouldnt have to adjust the levels unless they were off. The adjusting screws are on the back of the low beam headlight housing.

Hope this helps. Just look at my pics and what others have done - you should be ok.

Errr actually it is 'illegal' to fit HID on our cars, because you need projector head lights, head light washers and self levelling. It just isn't as obvious on our cars because of the projectors and the boys in blue can't be bothered with family 7 seater wagons. So as long as you don't go for some wierd a55 purple colour, you should be fine. I suggest sticking to at most 6000k, 4300 to be safe.

ODC headlights do have oem projectors. Theyre just no auto leveling etc.

My ucle who works at repairing headlights has all sorts of HID bulbs, ballasts and auto leveling motors. And at one stage when i worked there, i came across lots of RB ODC headlights.

And he confirmed that RB ODC Are proejctors

Yes, they are projectors, but Australian road rules require that they have head light washers and auto levelling as well.

Its funny that the regulations say that auto levelling and washers are required but if u look closely to most new cars now they will have auto levelling but the headlight washers are actually blocked off or dont exists. Lol and this is in Auatralian cars.

Even the JDM ODC with the oem HID dont have the washers.. Lol

BUT european cars the headlight washers are existent. Weird.

About the number plates SMD.
When looked closer, they are bright, but because it was taken from a cam phone, number plate covers/protectors, and the angle i took the pic from did not help with the coverage of the light rays lol..

These are 15 SMD at 360deg coverage, but in the pic it looks crap hahaha..

But if u look at the floor, its bright as daylight lol..

Ill remove the covers and take better angle and use better cam too next time..

Dunno mayb its just me heheeh

Which cars on OZ have HID's with no washers?

Yeah JDM cars in Japan are not as heavily regulated. I beleieve the 8th Gen FD2 Type R Civic in Japan comes with HIDs from factory, but don't even have projectors

not an easy snap as front bumper needs off. just take your bumper off then you will see space underneath headlights.
yes SMD for my plate but difficult no snap again, sorry. bought from ebay but not same seller. check this thread again as i recommend the style of SMD for plate.
