If you know a good OEM HID projector from another car brand, can you post it here so we can get a list going of options we can use for Retrofit? It could be any years.

I think I've seen a TSX retro as well as an S2000 so far

Acura TL retro and be done. With a zkw, etc it can look incredible

RX 330 w/ custom shield mod, TSX-R lens, Osram CBI bulbs look way better than overrated S2K's.

TRS offers a retroquick fit kit that includes TL projectors. They are supposed to be straight bolt on projectors. I'd probably jump on that kit if anything, especially when its 350 and it includes HID kit and bulbs.

I got a question about TRS- is it their HID bulb or the projector that give you the sharp cutoff light line?

It is the projectors. Our cars come with a halogen projector so you'll get a defined cutoff line but not like a HID projector.

Check out my thread:

There is a comparison pictures in there.

how come the S2K light output is not that bright? is that because of picture?

:dunno: probably. Check the whole thread. I have other pictures that I took.

what year were those S2k projector pull from? maybe I can go the junkyard or look online for it and use a local shop to retro for me.

Not sure but they are AP1 projectors so they are from the earlier S2000's.

Good luck, they get snatched up ASAP. But seriously, good luck.

Not an owner yet - just a potential owner.

These Accords have "projectors" so can I simply just buy a plug-n-play new HID bulb into that same projector, or does it require that you do the whole "bake the headlights, swap to a new projector, etc" thing?

Not required. HIDs are more useful in projectors that are made for HIDs. Even though 9th gen accord have halogen projectors, you can still put HIDs in.

While many have put HIDs into halogen projectors, please remember that some states don't really allow HIDs on cars that don't come on them stock. They produce glare and you potentially blinding incoming drivers. If you want the best light out put, while not distracting incoming drivers, do ya self a favor and do a retrofit. I'm sure it be worth the time and money.

So you can just plug in a new HID bulb, run the ballasts back to the battery and you're done? And the projectors are "close enough" to HiD projectors that you won't get all the glare issues you would on other halogen retrofits? For examply my Odyssey has those giant halogen bowl reflectors and I know you can't just put a xenon bulb in there because you will blind everyone and illuminate the trees above the road too....

So you are saying that the halogen projectors don't really do it then. Are they noticeably different such that a cop is gonna pull you over? From the outside these Accord lights look just like an HID projector, to my untrained eye.
