what is "retrofit"?

if i get an HID conversion kit do i have to change out my headlight housing? like get new ones or have them modded?

do you guys suggest me getting low beam HIDs only? or spring for high beam too? (cause that's a lot of $$$)

Well there are two ways you can install HID in your car. The first and easy way is to get a 9006 HID retrofit kit that plugs directly into your low beam housing. Cost approx $500

The second way is to get OEM HID projectors from BMW, Audi, Mercedes, etc and retrofitting it "stuffing it into" your OEM housing or aftermarket Accord projectors. In this case you'll use D2S HID instead of 9006 rebased HID bulb. This is the better but expensive way of doing it. Cost approx $800-1000
