Bulbs Type S bulb upgrades?

tonyt · 19th April 2007, 18:25

I am after some more light on the road from dipped and main beam. Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to the best option? Also, how easy / difficult are they to change?
Many thanks guys!

Just to add to this, does anyone know if there are complete headlamp replacements available. I'm thinking of getting a Type S and, although this sounds a bit stupid, I'm quite put off by the lack of xenon HID lights on the car! I know the 5 dr sport and EX offer them, but even then they are the boring reflector type, and also no bi-xenon. A friend has a Sport and I'm thoroughly unimpressed with his xenons.

My current car has bi-xenon projector lamps and I'd be hard pushed to give them up! If there was an aftermarket unit available It'd renew my enthusiasim for the Type S and Civic in general. I saw an old shape Type R on the way home tonight with projector lamps (not xenon HID) did it come with those as standard, or are they aftermarket jobs? As if they were aftermarket then the company that made them might be doing some for the new Civic,

Thanks for those links.
I've already been cover to cover on that first one. I was really hoping for a total replacement light unit - as let's be honest, whether you have factory or aftermarket HID lamps or just the normal H7 units, the Civic headlights are a bit of a let down for such a recent car! As such I'm fairly confident that someone will release a product to see this 'mistake' needn't be a permanent one
