The reason I gave the four stars is that one of the metal wire is swollen like it's about to explode. Light does work fine, but I don't know I would have to wait and see. Headlight revolution if you see this comment I would love to send you the picture of the picture.

Also, I would be RECOMMENDED to purchase any HID products through Headlight revolution because their customer service is the best of the best I ever dealt with. You will love them and I'm looking forward to purchases more from them.

I was fortunate enough to purchase a vehicle with projector headlights. However, the Civic comes with halogen bulbs, and I immediately sought out better lighting options.

I tried several LED bulbs off of Amazon, and none of them could beat the halogens in terms of lighting distance, and I tried four or five different kinds. I stumbled across the LED headlight bulb shootout done by Headlight Revolution, and upon visiting their website, I knew that it was the real deal. I used to own a 2008 Jeep, and was well versed in quality lighting options (Rigid light bars, JW Speaker headlights, etc.). On the website, I found all of the excellent brands I had known as a Wrangler owner, and knew these people had my Civic lighting solution.

I looked first at the GTR LED headlight bulbs, as I am a huge fan of LED's and have never owned HID's before. I also looked at this product, the HID kit. I noticed a tidbit about LED's in projector housings on the GTR LED bulb product page, which was a very welcome touch to the website, and ultimately led to me buying this kit. They recommended buying an HID kit for projector housings, and based on my experience with the Amazon LED's, things started to make some sense.

It was hard to swallow the cost of the HID's, and I was very hopeful that spending so much on a lighting solution would yield excellent results. At the same time, I also purchased the GTR LED headlight bulbs for my high beams, which are reflector housings, and what LED's are recommended for.

I opted for the 6000K color in the HID kit, in the hopes that it would match the color of the 6000K LED's for the high beams. Unfortunately, the HID kit is not a crystal white color when compared to the LED's; it is slightly (and I mean SLIGHTLY) bluish-green, when compared directly to the high beams. This leads me to believe that the 5000K color might have been a better option to be perfectly white, and I will go with that color temperature once these bulbs burn out.

Now, on to the brightness. Wow. I am very impressed with the light this kit puts out. The effect is most noticeable when driving on an unlit stretch of highway, next to other cars. I can't help but chuckle at the inferiority of factory halogen headlight bulbs in other cars. This kit makes those headlights look like the equivalent of a match being held out the car window.

The project housing does an excellent job of controlling beam pattern, and the cutoff is crisp and in the same spot as the halogens, which means I don't even come close to blinding other drivers. The warm up time is about right, and I don't pay much attention to it anymore.

I did have some difficulty installing these. I got everything wired up, and turned on the headlights... Nothing. I eventually found out that I needed to reverse the black male connector that comes from the bulbs in order for the headlights to work, since factory halogens are insensitive to positive and negative directions. I watched the GMC Sierra HID installation video done by Headlight Revolution, and somewhere in there, they talk about removing the connector. They reinstall it later, but in the same orientation; you need to flip it 180 degrees if you are installing this kit on a 2017 Civic. Other than that, the hardest thing was finding a place to put the ballasts, and I eventually watched enough youtube videos to see that putting them in the fender wells was a decent enough place. I have yet to use the grounding wires, because I have a very hard time justifying drilling into my brand new car. I haven't had any issues yet, and I don't imagine I will.

Overall, I am very impressed thus far. Time will tell how long the bulbs will last, and I hope they last the specified 2500 hours. That's nothing compared to LED's, but the light output is excellent, so I am happy. Overall, other than the price, I am very pleased.

Nice and bright but it doesn't spread uniformly as good as the stock halogen bulb. The cut off is not as clean neither... The OEM HID on my Bolt has much better clean cut off and uniformly distribute light down the road.

First off, I just want to thank Headlight Revolution for the amazing service they gave me. I had purchased the GTR Lighting HID Kit from them, and noticed they had run out of stock. Despite the wait, the kept in contact with me via email throughout the entire process even until after I received my bulbs. I will add that the OEM halogen projector on my vehicle does not show the full potential of the bulbs, I know that if I had HID projectors the performance of these bulbs would be superior to the stock halogen bulbs. Make no mistake, these bulbs are amazing and I would totally recommend them for you car especially if your car comes with OEM HID projectors and you're looking for an upgrade. Thanks Headlight Revolution! I will definitely be doing business with you in the future!

Gtr lighting are the best brand I have own I enjoy the brightness that they put on. Very Satisfy with the product

I've had these in for nine months with no issues. I haven't had the need for the high beams with the light output from the 35w low's.
Also could not be happier with the support from HR......Great Job!!

First HID kit bought from HR. So far I'm happy with it. We'll see how long it will last. I had tried other brands before and they all failed on me. I will update after a few months. Installation was self explanatory for me. (but this is what I do for a living ;)

I love my new GTR5th Gen smart hid conv kit.
There is no comparison to the halogens. They work great in my projector housings.
