    I installed these into my car, because I wanted something briter, and
    now I am selling them, because they are not as good as I thought they
    were.

    I am just now replacing them with the stock/euro glass ones, but I wish
    they made the Angel Eyes, with glass fronts, not cheap plastic like
    everyone sells on ebay. My question is it possible to just use H.I.D
    with the OME headlight set, or do you need a special setup?

    I would assume no, because only the headlights are being changed, with
    a special kit that puts gas into the light, etc...

    Thanks

    My question is it possible to just use H.I.D
    Well, sort of. The bulbs will often fit. The
    issue I'm not sure about is stray light
    irritating on coming drivers.

    Would people who have put HID bulbs into Honda
    headlamps kindly report their experience with
    this? (and include your model/year?)

    Thanks.
    There are kits for this.

    BACKGROUND INFO

    All headlamp reflectors put *most* of the light
    *down* on the road straight ahead. However, it is
    important to send some light in other directions;
    e.g.: to see pedestrians, street signs, etc. If
    you replace the bulbs with a HID kit you will get
    3x the light. And that means 3x the light to on
    coming drivers.

    New cars with HID use projectors which focus the
    light thru a lense. These projectors are
    specifically designed to keep most of the light
    away from on coming drivers.

    I've heard that people know their HID headlights
    glare because other drivers flash their high beams
    a lot.

    What happen was the halo lights I had bought. They were the one piece
    set, so I sold those, and now just installed the Halo lights that are
    two piece, like the stock, only they have the angel eyes, and halo
    glass over the H3 light. (stock is H4)

    The 2 piece lights are designed so much better, and are not made of as
    cheap plastic. I looked very good, and noticed it would be possible to
    even remove the glass covers off your stock lights, and put them on the
    2 piece headlight angel eye set. The glass is the same size, and both
    plastic and glass head lamps have clips to keep the front cover in
    place.

    For other people who want angel eye lights. Buy the two piece set, not
    1 piece. It looks so much nicer, and fits so much better.
