This forum is for discussion of topics relating to MX-3 lighting such as Headlights, Tail lights, Accessory Lights, Interior Lights, Etc.

Also anything dealing with the elctrical system.
Ordering my civic projectors next week and am wondering if an H.I.D. kit can be put into these projectors. I would rather have an H.I.D. lighting system than only the projectors. Any response appreciated.
thanx

I suspect the output quality may be less important than the contemporary look of the projectors. That would go a long way to explaining it.
I know I'm looking at the projectors for that reason as I'm more than happy with the output of the OEM headlights, which seems to be at odds with the general feedback I read.
“You’ll find, that the only thing you can do easily is be wrong, and that’s hardly worth the effort.”
You are probably right Grants. But also remember that in North America we do not use H4 based lamps in Mx-3. We use the 9004 that the rest of the modern world does not see and for a good reason.
I've never heard of the 9004 so can't comment on it. Sounds like I'm lucky!
Can the H4 be fitted to your headlights? Sounds like it might be worth trying. I only ask because I've no complaints with the quality of the OEM output - its a lot better than most cars on the road. I fitted the +50 bulbs and noticed even more improvement.

Grants, I've had a set of J-spec H4 Mx-3 headlights with Philips +50 bulbs. They were great. You can only replace the whole headlight assy with H4 based, but an H4 bulb in a north american 9004 housing will not work.
ok so we have it down to H1 lol. So can I get an HID kit or what do I need to do to get HID lights into my projectors. They should be here later this week I hope.
It's really hard to say what you need to run HID's in your projectors without seeing the output pattern of the projectors. If the cutoff is adequate you might be able to get away w/ a conversion kit, tho since you got the mounting for projectors anyways retrofitting could be the way to go.
So do everyone on the list a favor and snag some technical pics of the civic projectors
