I want to do a tsx projector retrofit into my stock housings. and was wondering how they look compared to a projector type hid set up. can you run hid in the halo's? i thought you need a hid specific projector? kit looks great on your 04. _____________________________ 96 EX coupe t0-matic I.H.E strut bars D2 rs coilovers (in reply to VK16) Post #: 26

RE: HID kit on 04 EX coupe - 9/25/2007 7:34:32 PM    HuYnHness Posts: 557 Joined: 8/16/2006 Status: offline HID's are a type of bulb that uses xenon gas to emit a HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE. Halogen is the stock type of bulbs that uses a filament to emit light. Projectors are the type of enclosure that the bulb sits in that disperses the light. These HID kit are just bulbs so they don't control the cut-off like projectors do. If you do the tsx retrofit, I believe the tsx projectors have a pretty clean cut-off line. As far as other aftermarket projectors, it's hard to say if they have that cut-off or not. Some are made with better quality than others. you'll just have to ask someone with personal experience with a certain brand. I think some projectors can't fit an HID bulb because HID bulbs are a bit longer than halogen bulbs. _____________________________ Black 2004 Accord EX 4dr AT 4 cyl. (in reply to y9pema) Post #: 27

Better than stock as far as driving at night or do you like them just for the look? I've heard some good and some negative comments about them - I want them for the better performance (like my 325ci that has xenons) - how is the beam on yours? does it go all over the place or is it smooth like the stock halogens? I want to get this upgrade for my 06 coupe but want to cover all the bases. I think my housing is identical to yours, what bulb/set did you get? Thanks, V (in reply to HuYnHness) Post #: 28
