55w ballasts 6500K bulbs color matches exactly to LED fogs, running higher Kelvin temperature because of 55w ballasts. This will be equivalent to about 5000K bulbs running 35w ballasts. In this picture the headlights look slightly bluer than the DRL's and LED fogs, but the bulbs were not warmed up yet. Once warmed up they are almost a perfect match.

 

Looks good great match

Your setup looks nice!. I have a question about the 55w ballast you are using.. Are you a relay harness or just using the power straight from the factory harness? I've read that a relay is recommended for the 55w since it uses more power. I have a 2016 accord also and I'm debating on getting a 35w 5000k or a 55w 6000k. But I don't want to use a relay and mess with the battery or splicing for the signal wires. Thanks!

Any advise from other members would be great also !

 

Using the HD dual relay harness it's a pretty simple install no splicing of wires just plug and play and connect power/ground wires directly to the battery from the harness. Although I've had intermittent issues with one side headlight lighting up even with the harness. I've replaced the harness with a new one and issue is still there. Still troubleshooting it now

Oh ok cool! I know the stuff we have to deal with to get these deng HIDs. Even Toyota Corollas have them and we have to get the Accord Touring in order to get nice lights.. hahah. I got the EXL V6 and I hate the stock halogens on them..

 

Yes, exactly. I have other cars that are modified extensively but the accord was supposed to be the regular car with no mods or issues...

Anyway think HID issue is finally resolved and also added LED front turn signal switchback bulbs recently:

 

Hi I just installed an hid kit from DDM tuning with their 35w, 5500k ultra hid bulbs. I did notice that the light beam does not show on the ground for about 5 feet in front of the car. I was wondering if anyone has noticed a loss of light just in the first few feet on the front. It doesn't make a difference when I'm in the car because I don't see the immediate front of the vehicle anyway. But I just wanted to see if this is a side effect of hids or if it's just the particular kit I got.

Thanks

 

I do not have that issue with the loss of light right in front of the car with my kit. You may want to check the orientation of your bulbs within the housing, as the ground return wire needs to be facing the bottom in order for there to not be any light blockage. If it is facing the top you will generally see the issue that is shown in your photo. Some HID bulbs are not made in the correct orientation. Not sure if that's the case for your bulbs but if it is there's not much you can do because the bulb will not fit in the correct position to avoid the issue.

 

I have a 2016 sport and I installed the Kensun 5000k 35w and 1 of the lights won't stay lit at first. I have to flicker the lights on and off a couple times to get it to light. Would a relay harness correct this issue?

Thanks!

 

It should work perfectly fine plug and play on a 35w. You may want to ask for an exchange on the or the flickers .. Possibly a bad ballast
