Please do a search. This topic must be covered at least 3 or 4 times a week. Actually, if you scroll down this page or on the next there should be a several page thread on this subject.

You clearly are inept or lying.

The answer to your question is yes.

Reid - I'm not sure what you mean by "yes". Without modifying the entire headlight housing, how could you add anything but an aftermarket retrofit kit to the non-HID JDM headlights? Or was your "yes" just to the 9006 portion of the question?

Once can install an HID kit with the non-HID projectors, or do it the right way and install the OEM HID headlights.

I just took this to mean, "Can you add OEM ITR HID's to the non-HID headlights, or can you only add aftermarket retrofit kits (e.g. Philips, Catz, etc.)?"

YES you can at aftermarket HID's to the non-HID headlight housing. However, I dont think you can add JDM HID's to a non HID housing. I have the JDM HEADLIGHTS with aftermarked HIDs and it works just fine! You may have a problem with sealing the back of the housing because the JDM HID ballast is what seals out the water....a little duct tape/electrical tape and your good to go.

you can also buy the cover for it at your local acura dealership that has access to JDM parts
