You can get either an aftermarket kit, or salvage a kit from a totalled car. I might have a connection for you, PM me. Also, I can supply you with good installation instructions. PM me again.

Try xenondepot.com. They use Phillips ballasts if i remember correctly. And don't forget to grab the 4100-4300k color temp ones. That color temp is the best bang for your buck. OEM hids come in that color temp.

try http://www.xenondepot.com or try http://www.misterjung.com ... mr jung is the best, or the best i have found, he uses the phillips ballast and his site tells you which cars come with which colors etc...very helpful, ive had three sets for different cars and they are awesome, give it a try, and as far as intall goes, PM me and i'll hook you up, oh, they cost anywhere between 400 and 600, people price them differently but they arent nearly as much money as they once were...let me know! Catz are nice but a lot of money!

I got a 94 Accord with 7000k HID from http://www.misterjung.com, the HID is good. However, without a projector on my car doesn't look as good as those european cars. Anyone have suggestion about projector for Accord?
I saw some are using H1 bulb yet the projector len is plastic, I think it's not very good for HID. Please advise.
