This shit WORKS, and has a protectant/sealer to keep the crystal clear

x2

Put some tooth paste on a rag and rub it in with water and it does an amazing job. I couldn't believe it until I saw it and did it myself.

so will my hids fit?

this is from hater-tech
you can make the h4 fit into the h4h housing and it will work but it just doesnt produce as good of an output as the h4h does... we did this on my friends rex with jdm front... the light output was alot better when he had h4h bulbs as compared to the h4

http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.ph ... ck=kcplink

im not worried about the light output, im worried about the HID blub fitting the headlight where it clips in

your going have to rig it in there lol. it will physically fit in there but im a summing the h4h bulb is smaller in size. ( my friend had a JDM headlight DA) i think he modded his bulb to fit in there. i dont remember exactly how he did that but i would just kinda just fit in there.
