The brochure I have doesn't state that it will play MP3 so that is a bonus. " HID" refers to the High Intensity Discharge lighting that some of the Civic models have. It's the very bright flourescent style lighting you see now on some cars. Far better than the Halogen yellow that is quite dim in comparison.
How easy is it to get at the underside of the ciggy lighter to wire in some accessories ? Or any other easily accessible power source ? |
HID = Xenon style lights, had them on the R32, really good and a shame they are not an option on the EX as I would have paid for them...
There is a tread on the "How To" area about a DIY
HID install...not for the faint hearted from what I can see and legally a bit of minefield...
I have changed the main bulbs on my EX to something a little whiter and brighter, the bog standard bulbs are pretty crap IMHO
Electrics behind the 12V adaptor, not looked so can't really comment
