HIDs on USDM headlights.

[Holy_Chit]

Does it look okay? Or will I just be wasting my money? I don't really wanna buy some clear aftermarket headlights I love the look of the stock lights. If anyone has pictures of USDM headlights with HID I'd love to see them.

Only way to get around that is a cutoff line. You need projectors.

you can just through in a pnp and not care, depending on where you live. where im at people don't really let it get to them.
or you can do a retro fit like some other members are planing on doing and have a clean look with hids and a cutoff

still new to hids so can you explain what a pnp is? and by a cutoff you mean like take the housing apart and smoothen it out so the ridges arent int them?

Do you mean something like this?

pnp stands for plug and play, on Klutchdb7's car, they are hids but have the oem generation 3 integra projectors, which were meant for halogen bulbs, not hids, so the light scatters

cutoff is where the hid lighting stops going up

see how the light only goes so high and not anymore up, that is due to the cutoff

Do you mean something like this?

those are projectors and the just sanded down the inside of the covers because those lines would scatter the light all over he place again and ruin the cutoff

but based on that picture id say that person probably did a retro fit for hid projectors, then sanded the inside of the covers to do what i just mentioned above

oh okay thanks for the explanation, one last thing how can i do a cutoff then?

 

[TheSkygun]

can only have a cutoff with projectors. i believe the generation 2 integra has reflective housing.

so you would have to do a retro fit.

this would be how to do a retro fit to a generation 2 integra

I had Black Ebay headlights and they had a perfect cutoff for my HIDs. Loved them.

If you get HIDs, retrofit them or I will cut you.
