Hmmm sounds like an idea... But it might not look good during the day time if someone sees my headlights. It will look ugly because there is something inside it.

Now I know why so many Honda Civics with HID keep their lights on at noon.

blocking the bottom part of the housing would work, but that would require taking apart the headlight. of if you want, you can try to block out part of the bulb itself. now how to block it off that' something i am not sure though. i think right now when you install the bulb, the gnd wire should be on the bottom of the bulb. what you need to do is to cover up the TOP part of the bulb so light doesn't go out from there. that's how the d2r hid bulb works

Hahaha no i'm not a Honda Civic Driver, thank goodness. What I meant was that the piece to block the light that will retrofit in the headlight may not look as clean when seen during the day, it might make it look crappy. Just like NEO said..

You're right about taking apart the headlights, then i have to reseal it and stuff. I'm not really sure about covering up the top part of the BULB because it might get to hot and then it might Burst inside the headlights, which isn't took good. Even touching the bulb with ur finger isnt' good either so maybe putting something on it is probably worse. But yea Thanx, i agree with you it's a cleaver idea but i cant' do that thou
