Default Do I really need a projector headlight for HID?

I dont want to spend more money if I can use oem head lights and just buy HID conversion kits? Would it work? Thanks

Yes! It will bro.Check out my car in the posting above yours. Well maybe below yours now. I've got a GENESIS HID kit which cost me $320. Its nice as hell and great view at night. You dont need projector headlights. The only reason you would consider gettings those is because 1) they look nicer than OEM 2) they have the projector lens inside them which can produce a cut off line that makes your lighting output look really smooth. Thats why im considering getting them but you dont HAVE to buy those if you just want a HID kit. I recommend the GENESIS kit @ 6000kfor its lighting outputif its available for your Accord. Good luck.

Dont buy eBay ones. I had them, took them off. As far as the halos go, they are optional to wire in and if you dont have them hooked up to power you wont know what they are.

Go with TYC projectors (top notch brand)

Ebay projectors have a tendancy to melt b/c hids are a little longer than halogen bulbs.

Just saw what yr of Accord you had.

TYC has stopped production on headlights for our Accord so youll have to do some searching.
Note: TYC projectors do not have halo rings and are not one piece. Meaning, you will still use your corner lenses unlike the ebay one piece headlights.

Wen you get HID kits you need to adjust down your headlight since the up top glare will blind people.

I have HID's on my 93 Accord for 1 month and been passing cops all night , they never bothered me since I have my headlights adjusted down.

Cheap HID kits on ebay are tend to ballast failure. I suggest getting a good one like genesis , mcculloch
