If you are talking about a retrofit, yes do it. I don't think that most aftermarket projector headlights are designed for HID, although someone here has done it with TYC projectors and it looks damn good. Anyway I did the same thing except I replaced the projectors with ones from the Audi RS6. Here are a couple of pics:

BIG waste of money for HIDs on aftermarket projectors, unless they are TYC. But look at it this way. Aftermarket projectors, about $150, HID about $350 and up. That's already about $500 which will look like ass. Now look at it this way. About $300-$350 for some bixenon projectors WITH OEM HIDs and either your headlights or another set that will cost about another $80 at most. Then retrofit fit, and sell other set of headlights to gain some money back. It's a lot better to retrofit your headlights with some REAL projectors than to buy some aftermarket projectors that won't even fit on your car right, and such a waste of money for HID on them. I can retrofit everything for you for $125 in labor + parts + shipping both ways if you want. I'm gonna be doing 2 other guys accords as well, both with bixenon projectors. Doing one this week and doing the other next week. Let me know if you want this done. If you got aim, IM me at Green1999Accord or email me at green1999accord@hotmail.com.

As for pics of my work, I have only worked on 1 set a little while ago and then had to remodify them when I sold them. You might be able to find them in the for sale forum, but I wouldn't really take a look at those. I really didn't have much to work with when I redid them so that it would fit all 6th gen accords so that was all that I could come up with. Let me do these next 2 set of projectors and I will definitely take pics. I should have pics next week of the first set of lights and then the 2 set of lights the week after. Just keep an eye out for my post when I post the pics up of the projectors.
