Koito Bi LED Projector Retrofit in Civic X
When i got my civic X, i was disappointed with the poor performance of stock lights. I thought may be that's due to halogen bulbs. So, i tried the best aftermarket LED bulbs available (Photum). Those photums really improved the performance. But i wasn't completely satisfied with the hazy cuttoff and output of stock low beam projector as light tended to fade away on wide highways and roads.
After seeing Koito Bi LED stock performance in our other cars, i wanted something like that.
After reaching out to an old friend @KeiWorks12 (who himself is a retrofit guru) and recently started providing retrofit services in collaboration with BI LED (facebook page), i got my car's Low beam retrofitted from them.
Koito Bi LED comes stock in many cars like Land Cruiser 2015+, Grande FL, Fortuner 2017+ & many more. The Koito Bi LED Projectors which i got were taken out from premio 2018 headlights. The whole setup is plug and play just like stock headlights.
The output is literally miles better than stock projector headlights and Facelift LED headlight. The whole work done is very neat and looks like oem.
I also wanted a different look for the car so got the whole headlight internal chrome trims including the turn signal reflector (have LEDs in trun signal, so no big difference) except the high beam reflector painted in glossy black colour. Now piano black grill perfectly matches with the headlights.
These Bi LEDs are modified to get the maximum attainable brightness and sharp cutoff. So, output is definitely better than stock Bi LED
The Low beam now has a very sharp cutoff with blue outline which looks cool and is much wider than stock projectors or Facelift LED headlights so its best for highway driving. The High beam which is now a quad beam setup (Bi LED High beam and Photum A4 in reflector high) is just superb. As for the results, the output pictures will speak for themselves!

Note: I only use high beam when it's necessary like on empty roads when there is no traffic ahead
