The HIDs in my TL-S came standard, I dont have a kit in the Integra yet, needs a clutch first haha
I think I am going to give DDM a try... 55w 8000k since the higher wattage cuts down on the blue tintage. Also, do you know if my 2008 Civic SI Sedan would need the error eliminator to prevent any kind of signal lights from showing up in my dash display?

Ha, I'm just relaying what the DDM site said, here it is straight from their web page:

Due to the power of the 55W ballast, the output is slightly washed out as seen above. We sell bulbs with kelvin ratings that range from 3000K to 12000K. 3k being yellow and 12k being the bluish in color. The most popular color we sell is 6000k. That would be described as white with a hint of blue. For maximum visibility, we would recommend staying within 4500K-6000K. The closer the color is to natural sunlight, the more you will see on the road.

Do you have the 55w 8000k? If so, were they really blue? Should I stick to the 55w 6000k if I just want a hint of blue?

A 55w 8k kit looks like a 6k kit in color bc of the color wash due to higher light levels.

Just drop in a K&N filter.
Then suspension.

After doing your suspension right, you should be broke.

dont paint or tint anything.

Figure out what you want with the car and see what other people did to get there. These threads are dumb.

Yeah, as I start to poke around the forum more, I am getting more ideas just from checking out other peoples posts. I guess it was a dumb thread to start, but still gave me some ideas!

Anyway, Thanks All!
