You guys need to do some research before you waste your money. HID requires a HID balast and lights that are made to reflect the bulb properly. You have neither. The HID bulb runs at a much higher heat temp and is likely to either burn up your wiring or melt the Civic housing. Also, without the balast you will get NO extra light. Also, the Civic projectors use a fog light design that stinks in the first place so the whole light swap was a waste...

I don't know specifically how the balast work with the HID bulbs, but I do know that for it to be HID you have to have a balast. For more info you can look at http://faqlight.carpassion.info/
