Accords have separate low and high beam bulbs, so I'm pretty sure they don't use H4's, which means you can't use the X-treme Power bulbs.
Most likely you have 9006/9005's so you can look into some 9012/9011 HIR bulbs.</TD></TR></TABLE> I was afraid of something like this. I'll look into my lighting situation more later. Thanks for the tip!

I'm glad they perform better, I just wanted them to be cheaper. Those are 2x the cost as the X-Treme Power bulbs.
But for higher quality, I guess that's what you pay for. Thank you for the help. :thumbsup:
edit: Ouch. It looks like it's 4x the cost? X-Treme was $27 for 2 pair, HIRs $26 per bulb and I'll need 4 (2 hi's, 2 lo's). Bummer.

First, I think you're looking at the prices for the X-treme Power in British Pounds, no US Dollars. The H4 (dual filament) sells for around $40.00/pair, while the H7 (single filament) sells for around $50.00/pair. I'm not sure where you found the X-tremes at $27.00 for 2 pairs.
Second, you really don't need to upgrade the high beams to HIR, since they aren't used that frequently, and most halogen high beams are already quite sufficient.

Yes. I was looking at pounds. Wow, I'm dumb.
Yes. I was looking at price for a single pair. Not two pair. Wow, I'm dumber.
Yes. I shouldn't need the high beams since there's just enough traffic around here so that I can't ever really use them. Wow, I'm even dumber.
Where would I be without Honda-Tech?

Re: Looking for the brightest Light bulb out there(none HID) (Ruben19)
so i just put some HIR bulbs in last week. I like them, they are better than the piaa's I had, in brightness, and also beam pattern. There is more light shed down on the road, as opposed to just straight ahead (and they are aimed properly).
i had some expensive a$$ piaa lights before, and the HIR definitly outperform the piaa's
