HID 6500K Hi/Low kit in my 97 Bird (PICS)
Just installed my new HID kit and it came out great. Pictures don't do it justice. Glare is minimal and the color rendition on the road is outstanding. The hella free-form housings do a very good job of directing the light in a controlled manner, even with HID's thrown into them. While these obviously are not as good as a projector retrofit, I'm happy with the results.
Here are some pics.
I still need to do some more aiming to fine tune it so its as best as it can be. Again, some shots don't show the distance of light I am getting and color rendition. I know the higher up from 4100k~4300k the less lumen output, but I am very happy with how they light everything up. The color in person is a very light purple/white with a hint of blue. The kit was very well made on first impressions and the install went very smoothly except finding a suitable mounting location for the ballasts.

I had a buddy of mine do some drive-bys with him going in opposite directions and he said it wasn't effecting him any different than other OEM HID's with halogen reflectors or projectors.
Thanks for the compliments guys.

I bought the Kaixen HID kit from ebay from m_specs. Buddy of mine purchased his kit for his RSX from him so thats the reason why I went with him. Very good email response and does his best to answer your questions. The 165mm Hella headlight housings are from rallylights.com. I'll work on taking some better pics with some adjustment to the shutter speed of the camera and such.
