    On Ebay

    They have some set ups, not sure how good they are but there are like three vendors who sell these set up for around $40 shipped.
    Hope this helps. LOL

    Can you give me the vendors (stores) names. I looked there & all I could find was the HID Conversions. Thanx

    Yeah I go to ebay too to hook my Hoop Ride. The retail prices for aftermarket parts in Hawaii are outrageous or if you buy used stuff it could of been stolen

    I know that the auto parts store I work at sells a Bosch H4 conversion, but you have to buy Xenon bulbs seperately.

    Hell yea they make a big differance, its like night and day. I am disappointed in the stock headlights.
    Summitracing.com has a decent price on the headlight housings, bulbs and the harness.

    here is the tip. don't buy light housing with day light bulb. it is just another reason for them to leak.
    get this ones. http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/diamheadlam7.html

    i gotta say one thing, xenon bulbs dont go too well with reflector type headlights. the light that actually get to the road is not very bright. xenon bulbs do work pretty good with projector headlights though. i would recommend halogen bulbs for the H4 conversion. they do make nice halogen bulbs that dont give that yellow color off, just look around.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

    If you get the bosch H4 conversion, then Xenon's would work quite well with it. They also are cut to direct the light to where it should be going.

    super blue, are those the GE ones? if so thats what im runnin! they are pretty great considering i bought them at wal-mart too. they are halogen and have a non yellow look to em. they arent as bright as i'd like them to be though, but they are soo much better than xenon ones i tried. i also loved my IPF bulbs i had, but water got on em and messed those up.

    Any of the bulbs that have the blue coating on them actually reduce the light output because they just filter out the yellow light. The best ones to get that I've tried are the silver stars. You can get them at most auto stores. They are very bright Halogens with a very slight blue coating. You can get them as a bulb or as a sealed beam replacement for the standard Sylvanias. As far as color is concerned, they are as close to a 4500k HID that I've seen as far as Halogens go. I put them up against my S2000 with 4500K HID's and they are close in color. I put them in my 3gen and 6gen Accord.
