make them uself get a set of 9005 or 9006 HID's then buy a set of stock lights set the silicone in the back then unscrew the light thats there take a small dremel and cut around the indented circle on the back of the light if you do this the 9006 will fit very snug then just clean out all the shaving and but the buld in take some ultra gray permatex and silicone around it so prevent any leaking let them dry overnite then just put them in and also get a 4 prong relay and hook up the balists to the relay not your stock harness ill post a pic of the relay tomorrow and you should end up with sometime like the pic below... i think ive made like 30 kits already for alot of my buddies and people around my area here and no probelms or leaks and they look good and only cost $110 to make urself

Witry you think you could just make us a kit. For example you could get a set off a wrecked TA and do it and then send it to me and I could put them on and even send you my old lights after I installed them. Also, do you think you could do the fogs too? Pm me

I pretty much did almost the same thing as you. The lighting is not like a factory acura LT HID but is not bad at all. I wouldnt want to be you person in front of me when I have the headlights and fog lights on. Its bright as ****. The projector would be a big help 2 but I didnt have the extra money then and ledgauges is a rip off just my .2. Got the HID for ebay for like 130ish and the stock housing for 10 bucks and I used the stock fog light housing.
