read my post above. Its only fits H1 applications only and even if you had H1s, they don't "pop right in." You will have to dremel the hole a little wider.

If you already have the 9006 HID's, then why don't you just stick em in the stock housing and see how much glare there is? Some people say there's glare, and some people who actually done them on the 6th gens say there is no or minimal glare, so only one way to find out for sure . Take some pics if you decide to do it.

(for the TYC headlights you are looking at, you need H1 bulbs, the 9006 bulbs won't fit right in those)

the glare is very noticeable and adjusting them would only minimize it marginally.

This is a pic of a 6th gen with HID's in the stock housing



and this one is with Hella Projectors, same car



Projectors are still better, but the 6th gen stock headlights don't give off too much glare. (the faint blue at the bottom are his fogs lights)

Here's a link to where I got the pics from

Please note that I am only talking about 6th gen stock headlights for the Accord.

you don't call that glare? its normal to have some excess light outside of the cutoff line (to light up roadsigns and such) but in that pic, there is a bit of glare. Look at the pic with the projectors. I think automakers made projectors for their HID equipped cars for a reason. (with the exception of the Acura TL.) I highly wouldn't recommend it.

go with the TYCs or retrofit some OEM projectors. You'll thank me later.
