I like the headlights. I had the stock ones in there with HID's and got a ticket the second day after putting them in. So i now have to buy HID's for these.

What kind of HID kit did you use? The reason you probably got a ticket is because HID's in stock or halo headlights scatter the light everywhere. The only way to get around this is to do a retro-fit of a stock headlight, that comes with HIDs from the factory, into your headlights.

I had 10k in my stock housing. You are right the light was every where. And there wasn't a dim just the highs. I paid $370 for them. If I would of knew they did that I would of got the high/low kit for another $20. But you live and u learn. Lol

The kit I was running I don't think they were Dot approved.

Someone on HCF does it, i forget his username, but he has a red civic and has the car computer.

I am pretty sure that no HID kit is D.O.T. approved to be used in a non-HID designed housing.

Also, the high-low kit would not have changed a thing besides given you high beam functionality. Light would still be scattered on low beam.
