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.
Will a fluorescent lighting fixture that uses 4 4 ft T8 bulbs operate with only 2 bulbs installed?
The lighting fixture may have 1 ballast, or 2 ballasts. If it has only 1 ballast all 4 lamps must be good in order for it to work properly. It is recommended to replace all lamps at the same time, rather than just the one that is bad. Testing has shown that replacing just one, will shorten the life of the others controlled by that ballast. If 2 ballasts are used, each one is wired to 2 lamps. So, if one pair has a problem the other 2 will still work. To find out how many ballasts you have you must open the fixture. You can't miss them they are the big black rectangular objects.
How do you wire two bulbs for one switch?
The two bulbs will be wired in parallel with each other. The switch will be wired into the circuit upstream of the bulbs.
What are the advantage to a parallel circuit?
If one wire was to break only one of the bulbs on the circuit would stop working whereas if one wire broke on a series circuit all the bulbs would stop working.
How woul a fluorescent light fixture that is set up with no pull chain one end there is a ballast with 2 wires a blue and red the other has 2 wires attached to bulbs where and how would you attach the?
you would need to find the power source and take the energized leg or (hot leg) as we call it and connect it to one side of the switch and the black wire coming from the ballast to the other side of the switch
Is it possible to only replace the bulb on a 1999 envoy low beam HID system?
It is not. I am experiencing same problem and the bulb, ignitor and ballast are all one unit
How do you replace the ballast on a 2003 Acura CL 3.2?
First, disconnect the battery as a safety precaution. One of these HID ballasts can cause electric shock or electrocution. Second, remove the front bumper cover. Then remove the headlight assembly for the ballast which needs replacement. The ballast can be found on the bottom of the headlight assembly. Replace the ballast and reinstall all removed parts. Reconnect the battery and confirm the repair.
How do you wire a ballast resistor?
It depends on what voltage you're connecting it to. If this is for a light fixture, you need to know what the voltage is that is being supplied to it. On the ballast, it will have different legs that are marked as what voltage they are. Some are 277,208,240,120. Just use the one that corresponds to the supplied power and just leave the rest alone. Hook up the ballast the same way you would any other ballast for that application and you should be fine. Just make sure you shut off the power. Be safe. If you have not done this before, you should seek help from a professional.Good luck
How do you replace flouresent bulbs?
The long, tubular ones usually rotate and slide out. The curly ones have standard light fittings. Remember to dispose of the old bulb in a designated re-cycling container for them because they contain mercury which will harm people if it gets into the environment (do not break the tubes).
How do you wire 3 - 4' fluorescent light fixtures end to end to 1 ballast?
More information is needed to answer this. We need the ballast and bulb type. If this ballast is not made to do what you want then it should not be done. It can cause damage to the ballast and cause fire.
What are the most popular items of HID lights?
Karun Technology offer all kinds of HID bulbs such as single beam bulbs, high and low beam bulbs, one xenon and one halogen bulbs. The most popluar items maybe H1, H3, H4, H7,H8, H9, H10, H11, H13, 9004... H4-3 H13-3 9004-3, 9007-3.... However you also could choose LED lights which are the main application orientation
If one fluorescent bulb is bad will all 4 fluorescent bulbs not work in a fixture with one ballast?
It is possible, depending on the ballast wiring to the tubes. Some ballast units actually contain multiple independent ballasts that would be hooked to individual tubes or pairs of tubes independently. Some ballasts may control all the tubes in one fixture and when one tube fails the others either go out or flicker badly.
