All APC products suck. All fake HID's suck. Keep the stock light, get fogs, do an HID retrofit or get an actual HID kit.

HID Retrofit = taking the projector HID's off of a high end car that has them (TSX, mercedes, bmw, etc.) and retrofitting it onto your headlights.

that sounds pretty cool.. where can you just buy bulbs off of a BMW ?..and do they work better than bulbs you just can go buy?

They're not bulbs - they're a real, full projector HID system. You have to buy some BMW headlights from BMW, a Bimmer owner, or a junkyard. Its pretty hard though. The easiest bet is to just get an HID system (like from www.xenondepot.com ) and put it on the RSX. The bulbs you are looking for look fake and blow out in at most a month.
