HID install cost?
 
Im planning on getting a HID kit installed in my 2006 Honda civic, the cost that the people told me i'd have to pay was $40 for an install i personally dont know whether that price is high or reasonable.

thanks

Just do it yourself, it's the most basic DIY job you can possible do.

What car is this for? I can probably draw you a diagram to show you how easy it is to install. Save that $40. :)

My bad, but yeah it is really simple. I'll make a diagram right now.

Just letting you know, hid in reflector housings will look like this

lots of glare. Yes it's brighter, but it's going to blind everyone in front of you.

yup, basiclly the bulb moves in and out to create the stock size of the bulb

!Yaminashi 04-27-2010 09:46 AM

I just want to say that the light adjust badly, as i see it lighting in the test room there should be a clear cut line for lights, when your eyes above the line it can' t blind your eyes when you are infront of the light.
