Doesn't the glare depend on how u align the bulbs? if the bulbs are lower.. it won't blind everyone will it?

Thanks
Not with HID's, I don't believe. You need to put a shield above the bulb to keep the light from shining too high and into oncoming traffic.

Max Windu had a link to a site that sold the shields for HID bulbs. Wish I remembered what it was though... h:

Could someone please explain what this Hi/Lo beam for the kit is?

I'm not entirely sure what it is, since all I've heard if that if you add HID's to a civic, you lose your High beams.

I also found this pic from 7thGencivic, a lowbeam for HID and highbeam as halogen?

yea i installed my hella HID's and lets just say they are up for sale ($250 shipped PM me if interested)

yea they are bright as hell..... except in front of me

they did look good when my buddy had em in integra housings (the projector side) and looked good when i held em in the denji's, but with the JDM housings the beam pattern is everywhere. odd because when i was running halogens they had a better beam pattern than stock.

and for the record mine are wired to the high beams. if i wire em to the low beams i keep blowing fuses.
