you have an 05 accord right?

you wont lost your high beam.....

but i suggest you dont just slap on a kit into your stock headlights. the 7th gen accord headlights create a lot of glare with hid kits.

it looks great.... stands out....

i have to take off the bumper? The way i would normally install it in unplug the oem bulb and plug it on on to the ballast... i don't know about bumper...

so about the aiming....its true that if I aim the hid correctly then it won't blind other ppl right?

taking off the bumper will allow u to take off the headlights and to reach the plugs for bulbs easily so u can tap the wire to it (this way, u DONT cut off the socket). and if one of ur bulbs do go out u can just reach in there and put the factory bulb back on and use the stock socket.

Also it will allow u to hide the ballasts behind the fender adn all the other wirings. Taking the bumper off is really easy.

and u can aim it to what ur original level is. it wont blind others any way, unless its like aiming up to the sky.

on the front wheel well, there are screws u need to remove. Both sides. Open ur hood, on the top there should be screw clips, look within grill to see if there are any 1/2 inch bolts. That should release ur bumper. Now, depending on your unit, u might need to add in a relay (some) to prevent damage to you headlight harness or ballast itself.

Thanks... I'm actually looking for the kit now, and then installation can come later.... I posted several links above...can you tell me which one has the electric/digital ballast (since those work better)......

But didn't someone on here said that it should work well with the original OEM bulb aim.... and that it will not cause glare until I point it to the sky?
