they do exist however, I don't know any one that runs their car in the 1/4mi. the 3 people that I know use it for roadracing.
one has done the full conversion in his LTW with the 6-speed.

my point exactly, i haven't seen one in dallas or even tx....i was simply pointing out that i have beaten us spec E36 m3's around here and that they run a 14.5 stock (i asked my friend who just bought a 95 to comfirm)

Dude I never said that the BULB would be plug and play, only the ballast/ignitor. As far as I'm concerned, I am unaware that there is an Acura Oem H4 kit out there, but that doesnt mean that Philips/Osram doesnt make a H4 bulb.
Go back to my original post on what I said it would take for me to setup an HID kit. Did I or did I NOT say that I would have to modify an H4 bulb to make it fit an H4H housing? I believe I did. And as far as it not even coming close to plug and play, well this is blindingly obvious. Nothing where you have to modify either the bulb base or housing is going to be extremely easy, but it is rather simple. Check out this little album on lthe steps...its not THAT hard.

well that is good for you
of course the 95s had a 3.0L engine and less torque than the 96-99
but 95s can gain 40hp or so with $3k in mods

There ISNT a factory oem kit out there which is my point, it's a H1 bulb which you then have to stuff into a H4 base which fits my car. To make it fit yours you'd have to trim it down to make it fit the H4H.
You're talking about just finding some random H4 kit made by phillips and cutting it down which is more simple than modding an oem acura kit.

obd1 rules....
and 3k in mods is a lot, well maybe not for a bmw. My car went from about 110 whp to 173 and made over 70+ more pounds of torque to the wheel with a 1600 dollar turbo kit, modding hondas is great

yep i agree.
that's the reason why I plan on doing a K20A swap in the Elise and also b16a swap in my secret 1500lb project car
