I know that there are a bunch of issues in diff threads but i thought it would be good to get them all into one. So if you have had any problems or know of any reasons not to do hid's in the new accord post it up!!!

I have HID's in my coupe and have absolutley no issues with them. I was worried about blinding other drivers or getting pulled over for them. No issues. The projectors works great with the cut off line for the HID's. Even in the fog lights there is no problems and it isnt too bright for other drivers. I hate cars that have HID's and look like the sun driving down the road in the middle of the night blinding you. The sedan could have some issues since they dont have projectors so HID's may be pretty bright in that car. Ive never seen them in the sedan so I couldnt say for sure. Coupe is a done deal though.

The biggest problem that I don't recall seeing posted on DA was in regards to HIDs being in halogen housings where the lens is clouded by the manufacturer, in their attempt to better disperse halogen light output. In any case, HIDs in my '07 AV6's housings aren't like some of the misaligned headlights I've seen around the state of La. Output is great, and no blinding effect seen. As I've stated in MANY other HID threads, I drive DAILY on two-way highway to/from work (50-mile commute), and don't get flashed AT ALL.

Did you get the foglights with your car or got the kit from the dealership after you got your coupe? What type of kit are you using for your fogs?

The fog lights come stock on an EX-L. I used a normal plug and play 6000k Kit.

So I am assuming you are using two kits for your headlights and fog lights.
