    First question...Why are you looking for new headlights? You want a look other than OEM, or do you want something custom??? I think the best looking headlights are either the stock lights with the black housing, or some jdm one piece black housed headlights.

    Or are you looking to go brighter? It's not too hard to install an aftermarket HID kit, just need some wiring experience and general electrical knowledge.

    Give us some ideas why you're looking to change and we can help you from there.

          Please though if you put in hid's do a retrofit with some projectors or you will blind every one on the road. I ran a ebay plug and play hid kit when they were the rage. Then finally I got around to doing a retro on my last civic hatch and that was like a night and day difference. Then riding in my friends s2k with hid's compaired to my civic with pnp hid kit was crazy difference. There is cut offs and everything that you need to worry about. If you just want new looking head lights hit up the junkyard or ebay and you should find some cheapish.

            I have a newb question about the HID conversion kits as I'm not that knowledgable about the terminology and electrical systems...ask me about any type of computer component or operating system issue, and I'm your guy, but actual electical systems, not so much.

            1) The HID conversion kits for H1, H3, H13, etc., the ballast is where said H1, H3, H13 bulb connects in the actual headlight housing?

            2) On the opposite side of the ballast, is that where our 9006 lowbeam power connectors plug into to give the H1, H3, H13 bulbs power?

            As such, I am REALLY diggin' a lot of people's retrofits they've graciously shown on the forum and I am in desperate need of better light output at night.

            Please forgive my ignorance of the subject.

                Here go some blackhoused on Ebay. Whether they are the cheapest I don't know.

                Or for cheaper you could just blackhouse your own shit. Just search for it cuz there's a DIY on it somewhere. And as far as the blackhoused JDM one piece, you're gonna have to find you a set and blackhouse them yourself or find somebody selling a set already blackhoused.

                  The HID bulb goes where your normal bulb goes. That then plugs into the ballast and then the original wire for your headlights (that was plugged into your original bulb) plugs into the ballast. Then BAM, you're on HID status.
