    Default My BASE RSX with HIDs.

    Nothing special just a base 05 auto RSX. Got the 10k hid from Nitro and install was a breeze (EXCEPT for the fact that on RSXs you have to remove the bumper to change bulbs lol and take out headlights). PICS \/

    preeshiate the comments...get brett can you quote me a price to repaint my car (no color change) just repaint. Everything matching no dark spots and light spots in paint...pretty much oem. I need to get rid of the darker bumper and the fact that my bumper looks like shattered glass.

    you lose output and it hurts you eyes (at least mine) when the colors reflect off of everything.

    i put a set of hid's in my halogen projectors on my old car for about a day, then i realized how much they blind ppl. then i got some projectors, which are a must.

    I didn't get 10k for functionality lol I mean its still a hell of a lot brighter than stock but i likey the blue.

    Yes and glare for the mother fucking LOSE.

    I just figured out my fiancees car has projectors (even though I cant steal them) I am going to get her 6000k's so she can see better in the rain and such.

    And yes I am in the process of getting some things together to do projectors on the RSX hehe

    i think you might have to make a custom housing or something. those HID's have no cut-off line whatsoever.

    Nobody is knocking on his product and I think his product is pretty neat and easy to use. If people like it, then fine. I think it's a good thing to educate people and understand that these lights are not meant for a halogen headlight and it will scatter light and blind people. There is a reason these lights have been outlawed in the USA.

    Nitro is my boy and he can continue to do what he wants, its a free country.

    Not to be a ass in all but if i wanted education i wouldnt have walked out my school when i was 14 I just think it is so disrespectful for these guy's to roll up in some 1 good seller thread and start talking about the product that was sold...It didnt have a sign on it that said all hater's welcome.But i c were u coming from its just every 1 that works hard for there money got to start at point-A to get to Z and i am at A so all i could afford considering most my money goe's to my engine at this time thats what i am in budget for

    LMFAO....... believe me you're long distance visablilty and close up visability is alot better with a HID retrofit, your beam pattern is all fucked up all glared and shit when you use drop in HID kits....the headlight housings are not designed for HIDs so why put HIDs in them? if you want real HIDs suit your car for them and put projectors in them, you get what you pay for....i had a ricey drop in kit in my 240 and now i have HID retros...so dont tell me your drop in kit is better...if its better why spend more money on a retrofit... you just dont know your HIDs....let me add you can do a HID retro for under 300.... projectors are cheap now, not expensive like they were a year ago.... a good set of single beam projectors like TSX and E46 SIngle Beam go for about 100 bucks or less now, and you can find them all day long on ebay or HIDPlanet forums...and bulbs and ballast will run you about 150 also....so for about 250 you can OEM Spec HID Retrofit...which will give you much better results than drop in kits, which makes it seem like you're driving a submarine underwater...OEM FTW....

    Not to rain on your parade, but 10,000K is too impractical. You have defeated the purpose of HID (created the whitest and cleanest lights) and just turned your lights blue. After passing a point, everything just becomes a downgrade in visibility. The only way to really do HID aftermarket on reflectors is to retrofit to projectors. Right now, you are blinding everyone and suffering with downgraded visibility.

    like I mentioned in a previous post. I can see better and it feels better on my eyes. My lights are not pointed upward at all...in fact I pointed them down a little. Yes I will be getting retrofit and I got 10k for the blue honestly. I am going to get my wife the 6ks. Thanks for all the constructive criticism.

    everyone always talks about retrofiting shit.. but its not cheap. And to me its a waste, i cant see myself spending 500$+ on some lights.

    I mean it would be nice to have a cutoff, but a year or so ago hids were nice, than once people start retrofiting projectors everyone called hids rice.. BUt i remember a time when projectors were rice... u all just love that word.

    true the projectors aactually make them actually do what they are trying to do and give it a purposeful cutoff, but his galare isnt even that bad, mine was much worse..lol

    Deaf Pimp:

    Nobody is knocking on his product and I think his product is pretty neat and easy to use. If people like it, then fine. I think it's a good thing to educate people and understand that these lights are not meant for a halogen headlight and it will scatter light and blind people. There is a reason these lights have been outlawed in the USA.
