LED installed.

Jut got my accord ex the other day. The strip that under the headlight has a halogen bulb (194) so I pulled it out and replaced it with xenon white led bulb. The difference is amazing. Will take some pictures later an post them. Mod costed me about $15.

Been thinking about that. What bulb did you get-Brand and website would be helpful.

I am thinking of an LED rear amber turn signal bulb. Often they are read as a burned out bulb and I would rather not have to use a resistor.

Thanks

Look on Ebay and type in 2013 Honda Accord LED bulbs. There are not many offerings yet because the model is still new. But one will def. come up as a kit White or blue was available). I bought a 6 bulb kit (white) and the sizes are already figured for you. I got the Dome, map, trunk, and puddle lights kit. Is was 29.00 bucks. They look great and make a huge difference. The license plate bulbs (2) were not in the kit I got but the vendor sold them seperately for like 10.00. I got them as well.

Aftermarket headlights

Was perusing the interweb and stumbled onto these aftermarket headlights. Thoughts?

Avoid-Fail. The first clue that somethng is rotten is that the application is for '08-13 and '13 is not remotely close to the previous gen.

They look cheap and will likely point to the sky with a faulty adjust mechanism like the Chinese Ebay units I tried to put in my 2000 S430. Other than that they are great. That's like saying "other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play".

Run away.

I give them an A for design but other then that, looks like aftermarket companies are competing for the " we have aftermarket parts first!" to generate business for the new line.
