Default Replacement Lights

I need some advice. I want to replace the halagen lights on my Accord. I want to know if anyone has tried some of the H.I.D. type bulbs on the market. PIAA, Philips, Slyvannia(silverstar). Or would you guys reccomend going to true Xenon H.I.D. lights. Would the systems on Acuras work.

Do a search in this forum for "headlights," "silverstars" and "PIAA." You will get more information than you ever wanted.

When changing the headlight bulbs on a 7th gen. the manual says to go through the front wheel wells but I have tried this and it seems to not work very well. I can see the bulbs through the engine compartment but they are a little tough to get at but just as difficult as going throught the wheel wells. Any suggestions from you guys out there? I picked up a pair of Silverstars and am wanting to get them installed. Thanks for help guys.
