Have you taken your car back to Honda and see if they can diagnose the problem??!!

i've got a xenondepot kit. like them because they draw current from the battery through a relay and not the OEM headlight leads. had a waterproof casing and mounted easily under the headlights. was a tad expensive when i got it though due to the poor exchange rate. $620 IIRC.

installation is a breeze once you get the front bumper off.

any thoughts on this kit??

PM Deng "Type R"

He'll look after you

[hebe]

they couldnt find the problem
neither could the dealer who i bought it from
so far proconcept, toda, local mechanic all cant figure it out

latest thing we tried was silicon sealed the crank angle sensor
hasnt rained since, so ill let u no

I'm pretty sure Thanh got his from Xenondepot.

What are the prices of all these HID kits mentiond?

My HID are flicking a quite bit now when my car slows down and comes to a stand still. But after the car has been still for like 5 secs the flicker goes away.

Mine was $200 delivered...similiar to what Justin posted above and only flickers a bit when it is first on but then it doesn't flicker after a while.

so HID is the way to go? ive been told by my dad of all poeple that after market HID arent any good.. and that only the geniune honda parts and such should be trusted? im thinking of grabbing some.. and was just wondering if there was a substantial difference in 6000k and 8000k? in price and brightness etc.

[j0nbubz]

I believe it depends what your after

For brightness, life longevity, the cool factor + the lit area .. HID's are the way to go

However, they aren't exactly legal unless you have auto balancing I believe.. =)

6000K HIDs are good =) 8000K is a tad too blue for my liking and hinders vision in the rain
