no, I think your Honda Civic doesn't have the "juice" to handle it. You'll just give HID a bad name. Just keep looking at cars like mine that came with HID from the factory, save your money, and one day you'll afford a car that has HID headlights, and because they're done right, you'll see the true benefit of HID--better night vision.

How do you change your regular lights to hid lights?
There are two ways to do this:Replace the entire light unit with a HID light unit compatible with the car, if one is available.Use an aftermarket HID conversion that fits standard bulb sockets, and adds HID bulbs and a ballast unit.HID bulbs require a ballast unit to generate the high voltages required, so are not a direct replacement. In most HID kits, the power can be taken from the existing lighting power supply, so the lights operate as normal.HID conversion kits are not road legal in some countries.

It is recommended to consult a professional electrician or purchase a new ballast suitable for 220 volts.
How do I wire a 220v ballast when it has only 1 wire labeled 220 when I have 2 wires coming off of my double leg breaker?
If the ballast has only one wire labeled 220, then this is most likely the hot wire. Connect this wire to one of the wires coming from your double leg breaker. The other wire from the breaker will be connected to the neutral or ground wire of the ballast. Make sure to follow all safety precautions when working with electrical connections.

To wire two bulbs to one switch, connect the live wire from the switch to the live terminal of the first bulb.

This setup will allow the switch to control both bulbs simultaneously.
