Thanks again for all the help Spike.
Lights are in and running nicely. They look superb from the drivers seat, however, from an outsiders perspective, I'm not happy. The lenses are foggy/dirty and seem to be affecting the light. Also, the shape of the HID Beam coming out appears to be a rectangle shape and doesn't fill the entire lens. I guess this is why people end up retro-fitting?
Also, I'm looking to order a set of these...

Sorry for the long link - Basically they're blacked out, Dual Halo Projector Lights. I'm hoping these will fix the issue with the HIDs, again, I'm concerned about having to remove the bumper to replace these. Any advice?

Bought a set from this guy: TCC Forums - Toronto Civic Club
Best $100 ever spent.
My headlights were yellowed & foggy too, so I put in a new set.

ok, i just dropped the set in, the halo's look awesome but i was definitely not impressed with the bulbs. these headlight housings would look amazing with a proper HID set up.
install was a royal pain in the ***, you need to remove the bumper. (although it may be easier for you guys with a stock bumper)
need to do some of your own wiring to hook up the halo's, i will post up pics or a short movie when i have everything back together.
i would only recommend getting these if you are willing to put the work into it. (it took me about three hours to install everything)
HID's are a must though for the full effect,
on a final note, the highbeam bulb housing will NOT accept a conventional HID bulb, the bulb that comes with the housing is soldered and screwed in place, unlike the twist in style of stock or replacement bulbs.
it will be possible to install regular bulbs, but you will need to be creative.
all in all. i would give these a rating of 6/10.
With PROPER HID's installed i would give them a 9/10 they have a nice subtle look to them unlike other projector lamps.
i'll post up pics soon.

SOR: so you got those headlight lenses from ebay? how is the fitment and quality?
i was thinking of grabbing a set of them and pulling them apart to retro fit some real HID projectors into them......im just worried about leaks/condensation into the lenses....

the quality is on par i'd say with the stock ones. i am not a fan of the high beam bulb housing though. it'll make retro fit a bit of a pain. but if you do a nice retro fit to HID's then these will make it look awesome when all is said and done

Good job. It looks nice, your teg is real clean. I wish mine was as shiny as yours, lol. I'm looking to get it fully painted but I think I'll prolly wait till' next summer now. In the meant time just wanted to do most electrical sh*t. Hence the lights and the stereo upgrades. Rims n paint next season.
Keep up the good work, thanks for all the advice.

SOR, that looks great! I think HIDs, when properly installed and not an overall pain for everyone outside (to see LOL) look very nice on cars. But I've also heard too many stories about trouble with the law and them not liking em too much. That keeps me away plenty. I'm more than happy with my Silverstars
