Installing Projectors + Xenon Kits Honda Civic 2013 Help

Looking at the lights...does it look like it'll be easy to remove the projector?
 
not sure, I have it mounted and I dont feel comfortable at dismounting the lights again, already did 3 times, Im going to wait a month probably to get it fully dismounted to do the retro fit, I will let you know how it goes, hopefully the shop or the guy who do it wont **** up the headlights

I made a picture today in the afternoon while looking at it with a friend and we did notice that in fact the projector probably like webby said, is not meant to be used with HID Xenon Kits, in the following picture

And its really clear that those 2 black lines and the big bright spot in the middle are the bulb of the xenon:

Im going to buy a good set of halogens first, test it out and see if the lighting are improved, if they dont, I will end up buying a pair of hid mini projectors and pay someone to put them on.

I will pobably keep posting updates with more findings in case other ppl have the same problem.

I had the same problem. But I fixed it. I turned the HID bulbs 180 degrees and problem solved :)

Yea I tried flipping min as we'll bit they just don't sit right.. There's only one way that the bulb can fit nicely in there..
 
A replacement oem hid projector like the honda s2000 costs more than that per side for comparison.

lol, call your honda dealership parts department, ask them how much your stock oem headlights cost each, you will be choked !

your stock oem headlights are $600 a pair.... $200 a pair headlights are very cheap, to automotive industry standard, it's low-end.

a decent quality headlights are about $250~325 each.

Holy ****! lol thats pretty expensive but these headlights run about $370 so to me i think thats expensive enough to work correctly....but if they end up messing up m hids or i just cant that beam pattern right or they dont anything about it to fix it(like an adapter or something) i think ima try and find some oem jdm projector headlights later if they make a black in them or something.
