| 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.

I can probably draw you a diagram to show you how easy it is to install. Save that $40.  | |

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.
