i may get the hella 6000K Xenon HID Kit H4 for my accord, but i have some questions about it. they will fit my car right? (2002 accord coupe). and what happens to my bright lights? Do they have no use anymore? And i think i am going to keep my stock headlight housing... that would work right? So if anyone has some info for me that would be great if you could fill me in. Thanks!

 

i am getting the set i the Group buy from Xenon depot: you can see their ad up top in the rotation:

they come complete and all you do is mount and install: They ahve their own harness so that you dont fry up your wires from the higher watts;

last, you wont need your high beams, cause for one: these will be brighter then your highs technically, just not shining at ppl's eyes; But spreadout, to where its safe:

second, you dont wnat to use ugly high beams with HID's:

 

aaaallll04, see my IM.

Kteller, I'd just like to correct one thing if I may. Usually, HIDs run at lower wattage, so they require less juice from the battery. The conventionnal Xenon HID kit will have an input of 12vAC on the stock harness, the ballast will then convert it to around 85vDC, and the ignitor will raise it to vary from around 300v to 25,000v for the arc ignition. On such a system, with stock amperage, it gives an output of 32watts.

My 2¢.

I understood nothing you said lol

but it sounds great

 

hahaha, oh well...lol!

What it means is that actually HIDs require less electricity, because the wattage is lower, usually 32w on a 4100k system. And they are cooler than halogens too, because of the bulb design.

 

the only time that hids required more power is in the initial start up, for only 1 or 2 seconds. But yes after that they run on less power.
