bulbs

yes not the "real" HIDs but those HID look alikes...

I've seen em on a couple civics...they're white and look just like HIDs only not as bright and don't nearly cover as much area

but I actually like them and I wanna get some...I know somebody here knows what I'm talking about...

and no its not those blue ricer lights.

Also, for some reason my 9006 lights will not screw in right and they're aimed at the ground...looks like I don't even have headlights from the inside of my car...anyone got a pic of how its supposed to be screwed in...I know it shouldn't be hard but it will not screw in.

best bulbs to get are the sylvania silverstars. tey last long and are heaper than piaa. while you are at it mod the bulb so you can us 9005's for low beam.

You just gotta cut something on the 9005s to make them fit. Silverstars are about $15-$20 a set. Ask bk4293 for a pictorial how-to.

I dont know about the silverstars but i did it with the cool blues and i didnt have to cut anything. Just grasp the bulb and connection around your hand and squeeze. (be careful not to touch the bulb)

siverstars are about $50 a pair from a auto parts store. you can get them on ebay for about $35 a pr. they are brighter than cool blues and are cheaper and last longer than piaas. (well piaas have so many diff. colors and watt. but comparing apples to apples that is). to use 9005 for lows use simpley remove the plastic piece from inside the bulb socket thing. i used a dremel. i cant remember if 9005 have 2 plastic prongs or 1. but if 9005 have 2 than 9006 have 1 or vice versa. DONT REMOVE THE METAL PRONGS FROM THE BULB BASE. just the plastic piece.

They are not $50 a pair. They are $20 a pair, and when I got mine there was a rebate. So it was like $15.

read my sig.

pepboys has each bulb, not pair, for $25 each.

Wal-Mart has Silverstars for $37/pr.
