Call them. I'm sure they will give you the 15% off next week or whenever you order them. Explain that you are a member of this forum. Also, explain that you want to make sure they are plug and play.

Which projectors do you have? Who else has them? Just need to make sure the bulbs will fit without modification. I'm sure you're fine, but best to make sure. I had to slightly modify the bulb opening for my projectors (I have the Spec B ones).

is the xenon depot hid kit plug and play? i need help asap. the 15% off deal ends today!
one kit they sell plugs into the oem headlight plug. One kit they sell has a wiring harness that plugs into your headlight plug. They're both "plug and play".... just hook up differently.

if you don't buy their wire harness kit, buy a wire harness through ebay/amazon etc.

and then weatherproof it -

You'll save yourself headaches down the road by doing the weatherproofing to the harness. I can speak from experience.

The volt kit doesn't come with a wire harness. You can get one on ebay or amazon for like $10 or so.

Also, depending on what all you are ordering, you may save more by using the 9thcivic coupon code they provide.
from their thread - use coupon code "9THCIVIC" and Save $25 off hid kits"

Yes and about color. I'm wanting a crystal white. Something similar to most OEM hid kits in cars like acura. I'm thinking 6k?
4300k bulbs are what cars use for acura/bmw/lexus etc from the factory. Most people tend to buy 5k or 6k bulbs to have more blue tint. That's up to you.

pics they've posted to show the various colors -

This customer installed the Xtreme HID kit with Philips 4300k bulbs to get that OEM hid look.






Here is a great looking Honda Civic with a 5000K Xtreme XenonDepot HID Kit installed in the headlights and a set of Putco Jet Yellow Halogen bulbs installed in the fog lights:

i havnt. that kit has so many wires. i thought this was going to be just plug and play :(
actually it's ok. I looked too fast at that. It is the correct harness. It's a 9006 compatible harness. I clicked h11 too fast after you said that not thinking, but that harness will do 9006 plugs.

watch the 2nd vid in this thread. It explains what hooks up to what.
http://9thcivic.com/forum/threads/2012-civic-hid-retrofit-headlight-installation.2531/

it looks like a spaghetti mess in that ebay thing, but it's literally plug and play. It just looks like a mess.
