Bulb question for those of us with civic projectors

Post by justin h »

Has anyone with the civic porjectors swapped out bulbs to make them less yellow? I want to put different bulbs in to make them whiter or bluer (sp?). The bulbs the come with are kind of weak and their wiring and grounding is a little different from oem car headlights.
I think they would need to be small enough to squeeze in, and not be painted on the tip (since the projector casing directs the light).
Any thoughts, comments, and/or experiences?

Awesome. I didn't know which style would work. Did you have to change up the wiring at all, or do the H1's wire up the same way?

Sounds like we're set. Hopefully this will help everyone in the future, too.
