welcome, looks like youre headed the rigth way with the accord, but the slowness has to be killing you, haha. ive been giving some thought to HID's latley, but i wanna keep the stock housings, you think a 4000k or 5000k would be too bright? i have thoe fake hid bulbs, the eurolite ones, and im just sick of the passengerside ones always blowing up and me having to redo my blackhousings. so i wanna knwo what a good company for a good price is, and what should i go with? i like the fake hid bulbs only cuz they light up better then the stocks. and whats the sticker on your back window?
another accorder' reporting in.

this is the reason why I pretty much don't trust anyone else driving my car. A. I drive it all the time so I don't mind whats wrong with it because I know whats wrong, and I know im going to fix it so don't grab at me for it....I KNOW IT"S THERE!
B. Don't have the benefit of CONTROLLING the person if they're crazy
C. It's your car, not theirs so why would you let them?
Grats on the accord, I got a set of ksports and hopefully goin with a set of 17x7.5 rota subzeros in a gunmetal! you should go with a set of them in gold or something! Great lookin rims, not to mention I just got a pair of work RS blue locking lugs...100$ picked up!

k Legend racer, If you're looking for buying some of the parts
from the wrecked subaru, i'm sorry to inform you but the car
is now trashed, with nothing inside & outside but the chassis..
just the metal pieces.. I still have 02+ STi genuine front strut
bar sitting in my room if u want it, it's brand new, still in box and etc.
I'll let it go for cheap. =)
skabone, i love the SE rims, also. Im thinking of keeping'em for a while.
maybe new rubbers would do good job. xD
Sketch, if you were to get a HID kits, let me know.
I'll give u lots of advices..well not advices but what's good and bad.
well on my accord, i currently have 8000k kit and it's purpleish.
not that much of glare, only from few angles, other than that,
it doesn't disturb others or oncoming traffics @ all.
If you're looking for brightness and good vision, i would suggest you
go with between of 7000~8000.
If you don't mind the cool looking, like purpleish + blueish light, I recommend
u going with 5~6000k. they're pure white just like BMWs, and they
put out such great vision @ night. Mine's more of a Audi, Cadillac'ish HID, where it shows a bit of purpleish color on light. I still get very good vision @ night, so I don't mind. Personally, I don't see much of a difference between 5~8000k kits, it's just the difference of light color. I got Visoin X HID kit.. It's made in Korea, and one of my friend's dad has corporate here, so I got it for my christmas present. It's trustable, it comes with everything, even the automatic light turn off / on when ur car's ignition is off, so u don't really have to worry about leaving the lights on ur car and having ur battery die.
others i would recommend, Phillip, McCoulouch (i hope i spelled it right).
let me know when u decide to get'em. =)

oo btw, that's Shocker sticker. =)

well, im just starting to look into them, i guess i would like to get them sometime soon. all i really know is that the lower the kelvins, the more blueish or w/e, the kelvins just pretty much have to do with light color, right? i am planning on ordering an exhaust on friday, yes like 2 days from now, so i wont have a lot of money, and i know these kits are usually like $300.........which is the only downside in my view. idk, i think id like a light with a blueish tint to it thatll p n' p in the stock housings. also, id like to be somewhat nice to oncoming traffic and not blind them horribly, haha, just something thatll be better then stock would be good. how hard are these to install? haha, im a total noob to them, trust me, ive only just become interested in getting some like, prolly less then a week ago, hahaha. i guess, to sum it up, im lookin for an affordable kit around 4500-5000k with the blueish tint. thanks for the info so far

white with bluesih tint = 6000K
white = 4300K
blue with purplish tint = 9000K
the higgher the K, the less u can see on the road...highest i'd go is 6000K.... anything higher would be wasteful IMO
here's my 6000K kit.... 2nd pix, the output looks very blueish.... but in real life, it's not as blue

not true the fake ones in the stock housing will be really bad. my friend did that to his tC and he took them out and just stock in S2k projectors modded of course. people say that the TYC head lights look ok with the HID kits, i rather go the OEM way cuase thats how i did mine. plus you wanted to keep the stock look,i say retro fit them in. heres some ideas, i know mine wasn't that great looking but i just wanted them in for now so i kinda of rushed it, i want to swap them out for either S2k or TSX projectors.
those where when i just put in new blubs, now it looks alot better when about 200 hours on them.
