whered you get them from ? the blue light can be wired up to your parking light so at dusk you can have your headlights up but not on and have this blue glow thing. i think thats what its for...

Nice I have custom HID's On my car aswell. The little blue light is a parking light. You dont have to hook it up. Did you use H4'S?

i remember reading "bosch" makes replacements for'em. just get'em from you local parts dealer. theyre supposed to have a better light output than the ebay specials.

catz kit is weather proof and comes with fuse as protection towards the entire system and that's something philip and hella don't offer.

HID bulbs operate at a very high temperature, correct? Does the extra heat from the hid bulb affect the housing designed for regular bulbs? Post some pics up after they are lit :P i wanna see the beam pattern too!

when you have hids, do you still need high beam? I have never used it in my hid accord or hid integra...

just make sure you don't get the kits for the bluish color
