AJ: Actually some/most (if not all) 5200K are coated, and all higher bulbs are even more coated/tinted. This tinting reduces the lumens substantlially. As far as Phillips bulbs go, 4300K are the non-tinted ones and put off the most lumens. IMO the color shouldn't make a difference, that's all color temp bs (as you stated, yet talked about color).

Just to point out though, normal halogen color temps are no where near 4300k unless very tinted, reducing the halogens output quite a bit.

 

Phillips !! or maybe Hella, but I'm not sure if Hella is fit for Honda cars?

 

Well, technically, no HID bulbs will just fit a non-OEM HID housing. They bulb bases are different (D2S and D2R bulbs use standardized mounts with bulb holders, not 9006, etc style).

All the bulbs used in aftermarket HID conversions except Catz are rebased to my knowledge.

Any ballast will work.

 

Phillips uses a Hella balast.

 

I have a question, it has to do with lighting. To my knowledge i can't remeber if all four lights come on at night or just to. If just two does any know or have done a conversion to fit this set up (4 lights)

 

Integra headlights have 4 lights total, the outer two are low beam and the inner two are high beam. You would not want all 4 on at once all the time as you'd have to lower the headlights quite a bit making the whole thing useless. You can setup HIDs on all four but that's pointless to me unless you keep the high beams on for over a minute at a time (approx warm up time for HIDs, off/on in less than that will reduce their lifespan).

Just run HIDs on the low beams with halogens on the high beams and only use the high beams when you need them.

 

Yea, i was thinking about Halogens on the outside lights and HID in the inside, and running them all at the same time. (like a GTR setup on the front).

 

there's nothing to gain, and a bit to lose doing that.

1st, you'd have to lower the lights so much you'd make the low beams completely useless.
2nd, the high beam HIDs pointed that far down will be pretty much the same as just putting them in the low beam location.
3rd, the low beam location uses projectors, the high beams do not. There will be far more glare and the light output will have no cutoff and piss off just about every driver (and cop) you come across.
4th, you'll then have no true high beams.

If you want to do this for a showcar, feel free. But please keep such an idiotic lighting setup off the streets.

 

I am looking to get HID's too. $428 shipped sounds reasonable. HOOK A BROTHA UP!!

It will look bad ass with my new CF hood!!

 

do these kits fit on USDM only or JDM too. I'd eventually want to get the conversion kit. so SEXXAY
