Oh, because the wiring comes for both plug and play and with the harness right? When you use the harness you should have extra unused wiring left over.
Just for other 08+ Accords or those with the optional harness that are in the same boat, in the instruction manual use the lowbeam harness diagram, not the plug and play one.

ENJOY!

Oh, something I forgot to ask. Since I'm going to need to cut and splice my harness in to this, will it void any warranty? I'm guessing from what you said earlier that I would need purchase the H1 kits and cut the aftermarket plug from the H1 bulbs that came with my new housings and attach them to the ballast of your kit so it will plug in to the factory harness. Just want to make sure this won't void anything. Thanks.

No, with the H1 you should not have to cut anything. There are going to be connections inside the lamps you can use for the standard H1 connections... and if not, just take the stock low beam plug, turn it upside and connect directly to the ballast... that will also work.

How is people are still asking this??? We would never offer a kit that requires cutting of wires, that is just insane!

Selections for 08+ Accords come with a wiring harness, there is NO CUTTING, NO SPLICING, NO SOLDERING required.

We should probably start a new thread for that topic, this is really a thread only pertaining to information for the NightVision kits.

There should be photos from a client in this thread....
In the coupe though, these will be identical to our DIGITAL brand kits for 35w output/color etc.
