Non-Hids. I don't think there's a 1K difference, at least compared to the 325+hids I ride in.

I looked on ECStuning and saw that they were 1400 us. I am not too keen on that price right now. I do have the FK projectors in the GTi now. Is it worth it to get a HID conversion kit or just save up for the OEM HIDs?

HID and Halogen light bulbs emit light differently. Putting a HID kit thought a halogen projector is illegal and looks bad, but not as ghetto as halogen reflector housing. The correct way to retrofit if you absolutely must is to get a HID projector from a TSX or something and mount it inside your housing.

Save for the OEM units, or stick to a good white halogen bulb.

It's one of thoes things that once you convert, having a car without them is no longer an option.

Re: OEM HIDs, who has them and is it worth it?

Well well well, it seems like it is an easy choice. Although I have made up my mind that I have to actually pay off the car before a lay down 1400 USD for the lights, it will absolutly be the next mod I will do when it is all paid for.

Man it seems so far away though...

Anyway, thanks for all the input fellas!

Would any of you ever buy the projector style head light units off ebay? Or is that a lil to riskay.

Re: OEM HIDs, who has them and is it worth it?

I wouldn't just because e-bay is kinda sketchy. I only ever buy stuff that I know will end under $100 just incase it is a gip then I haven't lost that much money.
