Why not just put the yellow HID bulbs in your Lowbeams....you are sitting there blinding people like crazy with the high beam housings....for what? to 'look faster'. You should tell that to the Police when they pull you over for it.

Are you serious? Its not really a problem for other people, but you tun the risk of them swerving into your lane because they cant judge where your car is at (due to being blinded).

yeah, "forget everyone else on the road" thats an intelligent comment. i wonder if you would be saying the same thing if you were the one that suffered from temporary blindness after staring straight at these lights in the middle of the night and ran off the road and smacked your car into a tree. are you also one of those kids that doesn't care about driving around drunk because it doesnt matter if you get in an accident as long as you're ok? ehhhh...

I had the plug and play HID kit and took it out because I was blinding oncoming traffic. Can you post a pic where the headlights are shining on a wall, to see how high the beam goes?

Here is an anology You guys ever bet on horses? It is like one saying "Boy that hairy horse looks slow as hell, I am not putting my money on that snail" Then your buddy next to you says... "Nope, I bet if you shave his coat he will look faster." Nothing wrong with what he said here.


Wow I guess slammedgs is the wrong sreen name to have. You guys are brutal

looks nice. just complete the mod so the hid's are so bright and it'll be even better!

also, if they will be your permanent headlights, i'd change them back to normal hid color so the police dotn hassle u and make the outters yellow! $0.02!

I'm not feelin' it, personally... but whatever floats your boat.

My issues:

1) yellow headlights aren't sexy. (I hate the yellow OE GS fogs, too)
2) using the high beam pods makes the car look narrow at night, like a '91 Saturn. I like w-i-d-e cars, they have presence on the road.
3) This is a mod that guys with no money and Honda del Sol's do.
