Default 96 Accord, 6000k Glaring headlights, 3000k glaring Fogs

Finally got around to installing these today, got them from Xenith HID's, guy is awesome to buy from, great customer service and great price and fast shipping. Lowbeams look blueish from either camera or fact that it was during start up.





Output with lowbeams on


With Fogs only, honestly, I can't really tell a difference lol. I'm gonna try to get better pics next weekend

Thanks! Those are Hella 530 series units. Traveling back and forth to Taiwan when I was younger and even now, I always watched th "racer" use fogs that covered more area as opposed to the projector style OEM fogs, it just grew on me.

Not really, I just have that in the title because the retrofits purists will come out and yell at me lol. Seriously, though, Prior to the lowbeam install, I had the headlights properly aimed at my mechanics, I told them to first line it up according to spec and then to slightly lower them, then I installed the HID's, brought the car back to him and tested it again to see if the aim had changed during installation.
The pics just make it look like that cuz I was crotching. I'm not going to say that there isn't any but short of retrofitting or getting TYC projectors, I've done what I can to minimize glare.

Fixed but can a mod please change the title to warn of large pics? The new place I'm hosting from seem to enlarge the pics for some reason. Thanks

BTW to the ppl that have commented on how the plates are visible, I appreciate your concern but those aren't even our plates lol, they're a friend of mine that needed legit plates for a roadtrip, I was actually meeting him to swap them back.
