Default 6000K BiXenon HID Headlights

Distributor: Leenix Wholesale (www.leenixwholesale.com)
Product: 6000K Bi Xenon HID Headlights
Car:1999 Civic EX
Price: $210 shipped
Installation: After asking a few questions on here, it wasnt too bad. The hardest part is probably doing it cleanly. I tried to hide as much of the wires I could, and make everything look clean. Other than that it took me about an hour. It was really basic, just hook everything together, connect it to the battery and your good to go
Review: Theses lights work and look great. They are super white, with a light tint of blue. In pictures, they look more blue than they really are. I have already had people flashing brights at me thinking they were my highbeams, so then I had to show them that I have highbeams too. They help at night driving on dark roads. They also make the car look alot cleaner. The only negative thing about them is how much power they use. My car idles normally, then when I turn them on, the rpms drop to about 500 and stay there. I believe the lights dont turn on without the car being on, due to killing the battery. I will upload some pictures later, and hopefully a video as requested. Great customer service, and a pleasure to do business with this company

I stil don't understand how it is causing your idle to screw up. The HID kit actually uses less power then your OEM lights do. So nothing should be effected.

Sure enough, they use less power. Are you sure that they are hooked up right?

nope no pics of the install sorry. basically, the wires plug in to the new HID bulb instead, of the headlamp, and gets wired to the battery then grounded. I can try to get pics of my engine bay, and the lights themselves at night

This is bad.

Either you have not taken the time to have the headlights aimed properly, or the kit is low quality. HID's should have a very focused beamwith a sharp cutoff. Get them to a shop that has a european light adjustment tool (most Porsche repair shops) and have them checked.

It is irresponsible and dangerous to operate lights that are poorly aimed.

Otherwise sounds ok.

well sounds good but you probably do need to have them adjusted for real.
