Thought you guys might be I retested to see a few pics of the hid retrofit kit I bought for my wife. She has an '04 Civic, and her headlights started cracking and letting moisture in, so I decided to get her new housings. I went with K2motorsports, and I don't know of its just this model that I got but they are crap. They didn't seal the headlights from the factory, so two days after I installed them there was more moisture inside them. Not only that but the amount of light they were putting out was about 800 lumens, and we're a deep yellow color. They didn't light up more than 15 or 20 feet in front of the car. So I went to theretrofitsource.com and got a kit. The projectors I got were smaller than the original ones in the housing, so I've had to make mounting brackets to make them fit. I'll let the pics do the talking

I used to be on hidplanet a lot. Still get free shipping, or did they stop doing that?

I went with theretrofitsource.com, and I think I paid for shipping. It was a little over $270 for everything.
