HID Conversion Kit

Hi,

I plan on installing the plug and play HID kits into my 2002 Accord 3.0 V6. Any recommendations?

I know that it is not legal to do so, so what should I go for? I don't know much about HID's and it would be great if somebody could help! Explain it to me as if I were a noob.

For the color. 4300k. I wouldn't go higher than 6000k hids though. The colors above that will attract unwanted attention.

I'll let others comment on their usefulness and whatever anyone else wants to say.

I got mine from eBay almost a year ago and they are pretty damn good considering they are one of the cheapest available for only 32 bucks. I bought the Xentec 6000k, never had a problem with them and they look awesome. But yeah i agree, you shouldn't go above 6000k, you'll be sacrificing visibility and looking to get pulled over.

I did a DIY on how to install them last year. I got my HIDs from a site called thirdgp.com.

wow. I'm surprised you didn't tell him to search. Last time I said anything about the usefulness of HIDs, I was lectured about light output and glare.

I'll do what you would.

To the OP. Search. It's been answered before.

I do got this don't I? Now you don't have to htekken. bye

Thanks for all the replies! I went ahead and bought my self a pair of HIDs - 6000k.

The bulb size is 9006 but it won't fit. Just to confirm, the low beam is towards the corners right?

What do you mean, "towards the corners"?

From the grille, it goes: highs, lows, side marker (orange). There is one small bulb directly below the highs, but that's part of the side marker as well.
