Most HID its can be bought off Ebay for about $80 shipped. Other HID kits can be bought off many performance sites at a very inflated price tag ($250+), but essentially their all the same, and ALL made in China. None-the-less they are fairly reliable and of course have a much higher light out put, and come in a wide range of color hues.

HID kits will fit any car. Simply search for your stock light bulb type, and color you desire. For instance the low beams on your accord should be a 9006 bulb. Type in "HID kit 9006 6k (6k would be the color hue, k stands for kelvin (a measure of temperature), and 6k would have a nice bright white / slightly blue hue, and would still be for the most part legal for use on the road... although some local cops may beg to differ). The result you can end up with is this:

Some HID kits are advertised as a "slim kit". Personally I actually prefer these kits because the are easier to mount in tight places. Basically the digital inverter box is about the size of a credit card and thinner, and the ballast is external. Regular HID kits incorporate the inverter and ballast in one slightly larger unit, but regardless both stlyes get the job done the same way but in different packaging.


I would reccomend not going over 10k's for daily driving. Anything higher will only annoy people and will get you pulled over and ticketed. If your car is for show get whatever you want, and for gods sake aim your headlights properly!
-Good luck!

Also I have noticed in terms of colors, they differ between companies, so be careful. For instance, I saw 5000K was "ultra white" (with NO blue) in one brand then 6000K was ultra white with no blue.

And to AccordInTheMaking...so even if the seller states the kit's made in Japan this is false information? I've bought several kits through this one guy who says his brand is Japan made.
