The "right way" is to find a projector retrofit system that will fit your current headlights. I have seen some retailers offer it but it's not cheap. Another is to find a replacement projector style headlight for your car. Last is to get a pair of HIDs in projector housing and install them like aftermarket foglights into your bumper.
*ghosthunter - i think it's more STUPID to have the tint removed because the v-kool tint is really worth it when it comes to heat rejection especially during daytime and the v-kool tint is really expensive, i didn't spend 1K for it. it's really not cheap.
Personally, I tried the lightest tint on the car's windshield to cut the heat from the front. At night my visibility was pretty bad because everything was a whole shade darker including the road itself. The following day, I went back to the tint installer to have it trimmed, leaving about the upper third of the tint in place. This gives me excellent vision day and night.
i really don't know anything about HID. there is a way you could install it the responsible way right? yung hindi ka makakasilaw sa makakasalubong mo?
There is an ad I have seen in TGP of a seller with retrofit HID projectors. I cannot vouch for him if he is okay so it's buyer beware.
Here is a link to his ad: http://www.topgear.com.ph/board/index.php?topic=1680.0Last edited by ghosthunter; October 26th, 2009 at 03:32 AM.

ganito nalang para maliwanagan si TS... yun headlamp assembly ng city na bago, eh hindi designed para lagyan ng HID, mapa-telescopic man o kung ano ano pa na sinasabi na hindi daw makakabulag o makakabawas ng glare. yun lang ang napagalaman ko sa pag-oobserve ko. one good example, vios xx at normal vios. ang vios xx, naka 4300k HID pero walang glare. pero ang vios na ordinary, kahit 1.5g variant pa yun, salpakan mo ng HID, may glare pa rin. same visual design ang 2 headlamps pero ang sa vios xx, designed para sa HID, at yun 1 naman eh hindi. so never, never magpapalagay ng HID kung ang headlamps, hindi designed for HID. pero TS, kung mapilit ka talaga sa HID na gusto mo, magparetrofit ka nalang. pero humanda ka lang sa laki ng gagastusin mo.

brader hindi ata designed for HID yung housing ng Vios XX. Kasi yung sa Vios S, ganun din eh. kaso may glare :shocked2:
lahat naman ng ilaw eh may glare eh. kahit pa standard bulbs lang yan, basta tumapat sa mata mo yung beam, silaw ka. kahit projector din yan, kung sa mata mo talaga tatapat yung beam, silaw ka parin

The Civic 1.8S and 2.0S, like the Altis 1.6 and 1.8/2.0 models may appear to have the same headlight, but I think the reflectors are different.
The 2.0S civic and 1.8/2.0 altis have reflectors designed for HID kaya as you said, minimal glare. They have proper cut offs kasi kaya hindi scattered yung beam. Other examples ng HIDs on reflectors would be the current model Accord, Subaru Forester, W210 E-class. HTH

impressed nga ako sa 2.0S Civic. kahit fog lamp minimal...
The Vios XXX are same reflector and sabog nga, good thing their attached HID are not so strong. may glare parin though...
