yeah ignore it the reason they did that is because the hole for the h1 bulb is a lil bit smaller, i frogt to mention that i bore out the hole to put the hid bulbs in lol and also in the sticker i like the way they spelled bulb, they spelled it "balb'

ok aftermarket projectors usually takes an h1, i bought the h1 HID's and the oem for the 5th and 6th gen civics are h4, if you want to use the oem headlights buy the h4 hid's


edit: oh yeah the reason i bore out the socket is because the h1 hid's is just a tad thicker than regular h1 bulbs, no harm done, no engineering there, just common sense

and mills you if really want hid, and you dont want it to be all complicated use your oem headlight, should be a breeze to install em, but if you want your projectors + hid's and you dont wanna do the borin out the hole, send it to me and ill install em for you, so when you get it back, all you have to do is put your headlight back in and plug it back in

that seems to throw a pretty good light pattern for not being a retrofit... are those just ebay projector headlights? did you use a shield on the bulbs?
