The lights are doing very well. No complaints. The HID kit was purely for reduced wattage. These are, IIRC, 35w bulbs whereas the OEM was 60w or 70w or something. It's all to increase battery life for the alternator delete and winter EOC driving. Very satisfied, but there are guys on here who vigorously, rigorously, and ideologically criticque and oppose HID systems in OEM reflectors. They have a point. The light scatters a little more. But I get few or no "complaints" from other drivers, ever. Btw, I got a color that imitates OEM.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
