So with those DOT housings you could in theory upgrade your lights to H4 lights legally.
However some states (and you'd have to check your local rules/stautes to know) say that any lighting change is illegal (including just adding extra lights like fog lights or neon underbody lighting).

You guys can get H4 200mm housing here, put H4 Bulb HID kit into it.

As far as my kits:
I am not selling the HID kits or housings anymore, but might consider it if there is enough demand. Last fall when I was looking at my sales of them, I was only selling about 1 every other month... so it made it hard to justify keeping them instock.

except the Cibie housings are not SAE 94/ DOT legal and are E code housings (wrong pattern for use in North America).

Hey guys, I am the first one to advocate for HID. My Daily driver is an '06 civic (stock, thanks!). Well stock except for I put HID's in. Holly hell it is the best thing I have spent my money on.
However, I have heard bad things about HIDs in pop up headlights. I understand the HID bulbs do not like to be jarred around when they are popping up and down, which leads to very premature failure.
Just a heads up.

not quite sure the difference is between the DOT housing and the HID kit. someone can enlighten me on this, thanks.

oic, then i would need both the HID kit AND the DOT housing for me to replace the whole headlight.
thanks for that info farberio.
IceMarks, mark me down for 1 of each.
So far we got 2 ppl for this, at least 3 more people is what we need for this to make it happen..anyone else?

There were no survivors
That's only an issue when the light is warming up or cooling off. We can make the lights pop up without the lights turning on to prevent this. Also, think about the fact that any car in motion is already creating a jarring environment for the lights (unless you live somewhere where they keep roads in perfect condition).

I am considerable if price is reasonable. Though I can get Hella housing (Dot legal ones) with H4 Bulbs for less then $140 a pair at http://www.rallylights.com/hella/165mm_lo.asp
But the DOT/SAE 94 legal housings I was selling were $40 a set.

From the website.
"NEW Free Form DOT and ECE Legal HIGH/LOW BEAM Lamp Kits
Two 165mm Rectangular FF DOT/ECE Conversion Hi/Lo Beam Headlamps with Bulbs, Rubber Boots and Adapters. These lamps are packaged with 60/55w bulbs. The following kits inlcude both the stock bulb and the upgrade bulbs listed. Any bulb substitution other than 60/55w will negate DOT and ECE approval. "
Either way $40 a set are not that bad. What were the hids going for?
