So, I do apologize if this has already been raised, but I've searched & could not find any information on what I was looking for. I'm interested in installing projector headlights along with a Philips Ultinons (D2S bulb) HID Kit, in my 96 Honda Accord. My question would be, if I installed these projector headlights & this HID Kit, would I lose my high beams? Here's a photo of the headlights I'm going to use!

some projectors cant handle the heat from the hids another i dont think d2s bulb would fit because those bulbs are wat come stock on bmw and benz, so you would need a conversion kit like wat i good which were for 9006 low beam. i got hids on my accord on stock headlight and they look great and bright. oh and u wouldnt lose the high beam. the hid conversion kit can range from $150 up to like 600 just depends wat brand u get.

Kool Kool!.. So I wouldn't loose my high beam which is good! Now my concern would be, if the projector headlights that I'm planning on purchasing, would handle the heat from the HIDs. By looking at that photo
http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r204/LexusLover04/TYCHondaAccordProjectorHeadlightsCl.jpg would you or anyone know? I questioned the people if you could use HIDs with those particular projector headlights, & they said yes. I'd really appreciate another opinion though!. Also the only reason I was planning on purchasing the D2S bulbs was because I was told that those were ment for projector headlights & the DS1 or D1S bulb I believe, are for the housing headlight units or stock headlights. Can I pleaaaaaaase have some clarification on all this? And yes I do know I need 9006 low beam. Lastly, what brand HID Kit are you using? Thaaaanks for all this. It's all getting me on the road to shaping my car like I'd love it!!!!!!!!

i have mcculloch hid and the color temp is 12000k whcih is a violet blue, im planning on buying hids for my high beams to piss people off. even if u get the ds1 i dont think it would fit onto the projectors beacause they would probally have stock size 9006. yeah i order some projectors before i had hid and asked if i can use hids on them they said yeah and when i got them it had a sticker right on the headlight dont use hids
