You don't NEED to do a retrofit on an Integra since it already has projectors. I didn't retrofit mine and I have a nice cutoff without much glare at all. Here is mine: https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...d.php?t=190926
For the retrofit, you will need the projectors out of a HID equipped car and a buttload of time. There is a writeup floating around Honda-tech right now, but I can't seem to find it.

Wow Schmoo, you're right about them making it too easy, you can just plug the ballast right into the stock socket!! I've got some Lexus IS300 HID's in my car and they were one of the easier installs when I put them in. The ballast tied right into the stock socket wires, but I still had to cut the stock socket off. I didn't do a retrofit or anything and mine are working fine. Decent cut off line and they don't blind anybody. I installed them July of 2004 so it's been over a year and they're working fine. My camera sucks at night shots.
