    Nice! Thanks.

    So I am debating FXR or Mini :goingcrazy: Cant decide! I could care less about permanent modification to headlights, and I am fairly good at crafting things up, but I would just want assistance since its my first time. Anyone local (experienced) wanna help me if I get the FXR? :cool: I can offer other installation services in return as a trade or a nice cold 6 pack.. or both :D

    Will they honor the discount on the H11: MORIMOTO ELITE HID SYSTEM? If so, I'm in for that. My retro is done (bought all my stuff from them) but I'm looking for something for my wife's car.

    I would get in on this but don't have a effin clue how to do a retro lol I've read the how to's but just don't think I could do it without screwing it up. I'm willing to buy a set of black depo lights so I still have my factory ones anyone local in NC or SC that has done retro before? I'll buy the cold beer and help how ever I can.

    Hey, im heading up to el monte from Fallbrook the weekend of August 24... i'll be working on a retro for a Civic. If you want you can come on down, bring your shizzle (if you decide for FXR) and i'll help you while i work on the civic.


    As far as i know, no, the code is for a complete retrofit kit... code/discount will not work on a plug n play HID kit....

    Buy a stage III kit with it and you can add that Elite kit. Otherwise, no-go unfortunately.

    Dam I won't have the parts by then and even if I did, I have surgery on the 27th so I can't do much for awhile after that. I'll order my kit as soon as we get the code, then I'll PM you and we can work something out maybe at a later time. Thanks :thumbup:

    Stick with 35w for anything smaller than the FXR projectors. The 50/55w burners will melt the minis.

    Do you really want 6000k? Factory is 4300k... the "blue look" is from some distortion at the cutoff.
    6000k isn't too blue, but it has a hint of blue. I've run 6000k and 8000k... 8000k is horrible for long drives.

    I thought about it and can't pass up a deal like this, just b/c I don't think I can do it. I'm sure I'll figure it out some how lol but my question is what's the "easiest" to install from what I'm reading not the FX-R I was thinking going with Morimoto Mini stage III D2S 4300k with gatling shourds? I already ordered a set of depo black headlights so I can take my time and keep my stocks in until I finish.

    The Morimoto H1 or D2S would be your easiest options. They both have the same degree of difficulty as the projectors mount the same way. The only difference is the light output. You'll have a nice setup with the D2S's and fairly easy install.
