- Have you sat in the seat of a car, facing your integra with the
- lamps on? I've seen similar integras here, and I wonder about
- what you mean by *much additional glare*. The integra is after
- all merely an updscale Honda, and as I've said before, Honda
- can't design headlights worth sh*t.

- If they are quartz halogen, I don't recall ever seeing any in the
- stores. You might be able to find a clear amber plastic film or
- plastic to put over that portion of the lamp system.
