I would put HID's in my high beams only. Not only can you see better, but you dont have to worry about blinding people.

 

These are my new HID's in a new 2008 accord. The car did not come with HID however it did come with projector lights. I have HID's in the top projectors and in the bottom fog lights.

 

jb: Looks good!

nafango: I wouldn't do the highbeams unless you live somewhere that you can leave them on for a decent amount of time. HID's don't like to be switched on and off a lot, plus they have to warm up to get to full brightness.

 

Thanks for the comments....I didnt do the high beams or the daytime headlights. Just the regular headlights and fog lights.

 

open your headlight housings, or buy a spare, or get some halos. remove some of the innards get some HID projectors, and ballasts and put them in the housings = real HID's. will be pricier than the kits but you will get the real deal HID's with that shweet cutoff.do a search here or google hid retrofit.

jblaustcongrats on the new accord looks really good.

 

yeah ... that ^ ....... or you buy a retrofit kit that is plug and play and takes a half hour to install like the rest of us.

 

falkore i have not seen a plug and play look as good as a retrofit.

 

Falkore, whats up w/ all the avatar changes?! The first one was hilarious and odd!

 

Various Jo(h)n's have told me that they didn't like the first or second avitars. This one is a photo that I took yesterday of my Secret Santa gift.

y9: We each have a different look that we are trying to achieve. I agree that the glare cut-off is going to be better from an HID optimized reflector and lens, but in my case, I didn't want the OEM lenses from another car. I found the look that I wanted and bought them. About a year later, I upgraded them with an HID retro kit and am very pleased with the result.
