it wasn't necessarily...the question could have been taken as what do you think of HID's in the accord headlamps, if so then to answer the question, it is just about the same as the tl, rl, and cl headlights, with almost the same light output...the kits run at anywhere from $300-$1200 depending on whether or not you get the ballasts that will work with both high beams and low beams, or just one or the other...the car will look roughly the same as that of the colored bulbs that you can get from pep boys...there is no special look that HID systems give off...the different look that you are probably after is that of pojection style headlights like the s2000 or integra...to do that you will have to replace the stock headlight assembly and buy projector headlights that fit the accord...but you don't buy HID's for the look, you buy them for the amount of light they produce and all that...if you want the look of HID's, stick with the BLUE/VIOLET bulbs from pep-boys!

i hope u are not trying to make it seem that the accord in your avatar is yours
no i'm not. i thought the car looked good so i put it up. just because its my avatar dosn't mean im possing it as mine. dont' assume

to whoever that accord belong to...i'm sorry i thought your car looked nice. and since that person is complaining....and asking if i'm trying to pull something off on everyone, i'll change it.
