wow those are nice and bright.
actually wouldent be that hard to do,
get ahold of projector lenses off a car (any new car has them)
bake both your bike headlights and the car ones (400 deg F for 6 min i think)
take the lenses out and custom mount them inside your bike housings and then bake th housing back together (400 deg for 3 min)

go on ebay and get the HID bulbs and ballasts, put them in and turn it on!!!!


***baking times are estamate, i have done it before but cant remember the right times (do a search on google for "00 civic DIY type R headlights")***

but it kind of sucks having one side brighter than the other and in my opinion the stock low beam is not bright enough.

ThatProjector mod looks good. Makes the bike look mean. Only problem with the baking is you risk the chance of melting & deforming the headlight assembly at 400. Been there, done that! 375 degrees is the number I believe. Another thinh is you don't get Hi/Lo with the projectors or HID's (Unless you spend double for dual filament or TrueHi/Lo HID's at $300 plus each)

I got a chance to compare a stock 05-06 and my headlight mod kit and mine were much brighter and whiter. The stock bulbs project a yellow light but mine are Bright White and a wider beam also on both sides. Plus I have High Beams also.

You 6R looks amazing, I was wondering what kind of wind screen is that? Thanks

does anyone know how you get the blinkers to stay on like that?

i think you can wire them to the running lights above or use a magic blinker kit.
