Re: Headlight upgrade
None of the The H.I.D. conversions are DOT compliant. With many (but not
all) of them you also loose your high-beams.
The easiest upgrade is to use Sylvania Xtravision or Philips
HiVisibility bulbs. These are perfectly legal and give about 30% more
light than regular.
You can also add a set of Sylvania Xenarc 1010 H.I.D. Auxiliary Low Beam
lights. These are DOT compliant and you mount them as you would fog
lights. They need to be properly aimed to be DOT compliant (and to not
aggravate oncoming traffic).
I put a set of these on a '94 Civic. Bought them from
http://www.suvlights.com/. They have a choice between 5400K / 2800 lumen
bulbs or 4250K / 3200 lumen bulbs. The latter provide more light, and
are less bluish.
Hella also makes auxilliary H.I.D. lights, but I do not know if they are
available in the US. I believe Hella's lights are to be used with the
high beams only.

I use theXtravision lamps, and they're a worthwhile upgrade. Not
dramatic, but noticeable.
Sylvania has also recently introduced their Silver Star replacemnt
lamps. They're only a bit more expensive (perhaps $20 each). I haven't
tried them yet, but they're supposed to be better still, at the cost of
somewhat shorter life.

Re: Headlight upgrade
Had the same problem with my 01 Prelude. On a dark two lane, the high
beams worked about as well as me holding a flashlight out the window. I
installed some PIAA "Extreme white plus" bulbs and it was like night into
day. The bulbs were expensive, but worth it.
