5th gen, what?
Civic?
Accord?

You should just get projector headlights, and retro HID projectors into them.


BMW E46 Ellipsoid in my headlight.

I've got 8000K HIDs in my stock headlights and the output isn't that bad. I like em, but I am thinking of getting the diamond cut headlights.

At 8000k you're paying for color. Of course the output isnt gonna be "that bad". If you still want to see where you're driving I suggest some 4100-4300 or 5000k.

You can get an HID kit (H4) with a glare shield (see the other HID thread)
