    Well it's a bitch. Actually I am not sure. I attempted to install the JDM CTR HID's, and I can tell you they are not plug and play. I am awaiting a harness, and if it is still difficult to wire I will take it to have thme installed professionally. IMO it isn't worth the trouble to have the OE set up.

    You'd probably be better off going that route. There is a how-to on clubrsx.com about doing the HID install on a RSX. I heard they are the same, but I really don't like the idea of cutting your factory harness.

    I paid $1140 shipped. I know it's a shit load, but here is how I broke it down. $399 for CTR lights from Showstoppers, $450 for a HID kit. Right there I am at $850. I spent the extra $300, because not only are they a rare factory option, but they are also factory. I like it when stuff is well thought out. I have no doubt that when I do install them they will be great. The guy forgot to ship the harness so I am still waiting for it, but will keep you all posted.

    Do you lose hi beams with the CTR HID?

    I don't see where you would have the extra plug for a separate hi beam... If it is lo hi, how does it work, is there a solenoid?

    As far as I know it is low beam only. I will see about having them installed this week, and keep you guys posted.
