It's actually very good with the FD lenses; the only problem, as I posted previously, is a slight bleedoff onto the upper right side, and even then the glare doesn't even come close to the type you encounter if you are looking directly at an OEM projector-style HID. As with any HID, however, proper aiming is critical to lighting performance.
I've been too damn busy to take pics of my beams, and I don't have a stock headlight FD for a side-by-side comparison, but I'll try and get something together in the future.
I mounted my ballasts on the body ledge just beneath the headlight assembly. Fit fine, is close enough to the ignitor to avoid any problems, and doesn't have any clearance issues with the headlight when it retracts.

I don't want to come off as an ***, but I just hate it when people put HID's in their stock Civic housings and drive around blinding everybody. Thats why they made it illegal.

i want either real hid's or raybrig bulbs. i saw them at superautobacs and they look real white. anybody knows if raybrig bulbs'll burn out the electrical system?

I also hate those damn civics with HIDs blinding everyone, but with these, they serve the purpose of what they are made for...lighting up the road, not people in their cars.

Please tell how you get your lights to look like that. I really like the look and how much more they light up the road.

Its funny how you're worried about blinding other people when basically any car oncoming or in the back is blinding us. Therefore, I just drive around with my stock highs on because I guess I dont really give a f*ck & IMO pretty much any car out there has the effect of high beaming us.
Trucks/SUVs are the worse, I think they should have headlights that point straight at the ground.
BTW that's a pretty good cutoff
