    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.

    indeed, i even think of using HID a disrespectful. minsan nga kahit nasa likod mo yung oto na naka hid masisilaw ka pa rin coming from your side mirror. siguro ok lang mag HID kung malabo mata mo sa gabi.

    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.
