Default Difference between Acua Integ Projector and Honda Civic Angel Eye Projector?

I was wondering what is the difference in the Acura Integ projector and the Honda Civic 92-95 Angel Eye Projector? How do HIDs look on a Integ then on a Civic? I was thinkin of retro-fitting the Integ projectors into my civic but was wondering if they would make any difference. I have seen how HID kits on an Integra look and its pretty nice.. i was wondering would they look the same for the Civic projector. I'm not trying to retro-fit them if they look the same, I rather just put HIDs in my civic but it all depends if i get the whole HID look or just yellow or white look. Does any one know?

why Integra projectors?

get Audi or BMW HID projectors instead, and retrofit them into your angel eye headlights (of course, D2S HID bulbs and ballasts are required). You'll get good cut-off line, and won't blind oncoming traffic. Ask MaxBoosT, he's done it on his Ferio. HTH

Integra projectors are designed for halogen bulbs. They may look bright and stuff w/HIDs, but still you can't get the good cut-off line like BMW or Audi.

IMO, if you want to do retrofit, do it right. Trust me, you'll be happy later... :thumbup:

Sorry, I haven't been visiting the board as much.
What diesel said is true and on the dot, don't waste your effort with the Integra projectors, get Hella/Bosch ones from Audi & BMW

Hey Maxboost,

Could you hook me up with some pix and instructions on your audi/projector conversion?

Thanks

I just went to a local shop today and I asked them how would HIDs look on my car. They said that it all depends on ur projector color. If its clear then whatever color HID kit u get, it will turn out that way. So if you have a yellow projector then it will turn out yellow, blue then it will turn out like a weak blue and if its clear then it should be perfect. I would use a Hella kit and it would be as bright as the Audi and BMW.. They also said that they just recently put a HID kit on a Accord, which uses the same projector as a Civic and they said it turned out as bright as ****. so i'm still thinking. I might go buy the HID kit and see how it looks and if not then i'll retro fit my projectors w/ the BMW one.

It might be bright, but you won't get the good cut-off line like BMW or Audi.

Do it right, like MaxBoosT did, retrofit those BMW or Audi HID projectors into your current projector headlights instead. :thumbup:
