    IMO wag ka mag HID sa SIR mo, maraming aftermarket halogens (Osram Nighbreaker, all-season, Philips, Narvas dami pa) na fit sa housing mo di ka pa makaka silaw sa iba . Importante malinis ang lens and reflector mo.

    Search mo muna maraming thread re HIDs baka magbago pa isip mo.

    Tama si XTO.
    Dont forget HID are expensive and too many trouble if you dont know how to install properly. Yong bulb nalang ang palitan mo. Less money, peace of mind.

    afaik and imho, HID's are only recommended on projector-type lamps. maraming hid's ang nakakasilaw sa kasalubong na motorista kahit nakalow beam lang.

    there's no way that you could install it properly sa headlight ng sir unless mag retrofit ka ng projector, im not sure yung nabibiling projector lamps for EK kung ok yun. pero IMO ang sagwa ng itsura nung aftermarket projector for ek.

    just stick with xto's suggestion. and dont be one of those a******s who keeps on blinding incoming traffics. less accident, less trouble.

    most HID are 35watts. mas less ang heat compared to stock halogen. so no worries kung masisira ang headlight.

    however, sabog na sabog po ang mga SIR with HID. specialy those really good brands HID. though may nakikita akong marami naka vti, lxi, sir civic HID na tolerable naman dahil yung HID nila e yung mga murang china mades. but could still glare on dark provincial roads.

    I understand you want style. if you want peace of mind not to offend other motorist. bili ka ng headlight na projector na, or pa convert mo to projector.

    this pic is from a civic.




    puwede rin convert yung fogs to projector type.

    those projectors would set you back around 4k-5k each not including the retro fit. meron din yung brand new na projectors from camry na 9k ata isa. to retro fit would cost an additional 2k-4k depending on the installer. the HID itself would cost another 5k.

    ang mahirap diyan, masakit gamitin yung orig stanley HL's natin. if something goes wrong... mahal yung orig na bago. hehe

    IMHO, tama si XTO, stick with the halogens na lang. hindi talaga worth it with the expense involved. pero if you have money to burn... panalo! hehe

    just make your head light lens and reflector clean - in and out. ito nalang muna gastusan mo, sigurado bubuga ng maliwanag yan kahit stock halogen but personally bagay ang tipo ng mga osram nighbreaker at philips extreme power dyan then ang i-yellow halogen mo yung fog – di ka gagastos ng almost 10K.

    suggestion lang ha? you can do also consider an audio upgrade, paint and interior detailing, cleaning stuff like shampoo, polish, wax, microfiber drying cloth etc. na lang bago ka mag HID.

    ako naman, suggestion ko to have those orig raybring yellow fogs. madali lang hanap yung mismong lights but the housing is really hard to find. mga 7k-10k ata set nito. ok din yung taiwan lang if your no a purist. 3.5k set na. put on pure yellow bulbs na stock wattage or all weather ok na.

    up your HL's wattage and add relay and ceramic sockets. this would prevent melting your stock sockets. about 90 watts na philips or osram nightbreakers are really good for night driving kahit heavy tint pa. hehe

    foglights are meant to scatter lights for better visibilty on clouds, smoke and "fogs". it has no cutoffs, all of it's reflection are exposed to the incoming motorist's face. so it's even way more sabog than a reflector headlight.

    maliit na maliit ang chance dahil mas lower watts nga siya. but HID are dangerous on accidents. yung wire kasi niya e thousand volts yun.

    north customs will charge you 14,000 including the installation. see his tsikot ads here: http://tsikot.yehey.com/classifieds/...t/47113/cat/48

    using HID will get you noticed. but it could be admiration or anger.

    Ganito ang kailangan mo dahil this is DOT compliance at bolts on wala ng modify, salpak nalang.

    we have a tsikoteer here who bought a salpak projector headlight for a 96 Civic. unfortunately, the pic he posted is not appearing anymore. though take a look at his avatar, you will see a small pic there... and he posted this address where he got it.
