I can forward you the instruction if you email me. it is pretty easy you can do it with juts a pin tool or some thing.

Hope this helps, also if the HID bulb is a 9006 base bulb it should fit the socket, don't use to much forac as you might crack the fiber but try it it should fit mine fit pretty esaily.

Hope this helps.

Thankx
Javed

Hey thanks for trying to help me out. I got frustrated with it so i took everything apart and put back in the box. I hope i didnt ruin the bulb but I think im ok. But I called up my local mechanic who does work on all are cars. They also do tuning stuff too. They said they would be able to install them for me. So tomorrow im going to drop the car by.

What about these???

From the feedback here on AZ, its seems like Hella and Phillips were recommended by a lot of you on here....but the prices that its listed for on ebay, phony/knock-off??

I think the ebay PnP HID's I had gotten for my accord were MKS? They were 150 shipped and I had them in my Denji projectors that the previous owner put on the car. Not a spectacular cutoff and the light output of the H3 halogens that were in there sucked badly. Never got pulled over for them and only flashed twice after using them for about 1.5 yrs. 6000k Color temp sucked in the rain with those lenses though... All I could see was the lines and the rest just bounced off the wet pavement. Going to jack the HID's out of the accord for fogs in the new CL.

Hey is it really complicated to install projectors ? .. Takin' the bumper off seems like a real bitch to do.

Anyone?

Installing the projectors is a real bitch, I recommend you have a second set of headlights to hack up so you don't mess with the ones that you have on the car, it also enables you to take your time

I'm in the midst of making an attempt to create a pair of retrofits myself....
Will order a pair of seperate headlights.
Yo 97blackackcl, I know you went through many different projectors. Just wondering how it took to install each of those individual ones, well an estimated average time for the entire process?

Hey guys, Ive had my HIDs installed for a couple weeks now and i recently noticed that when I turn my HIDs on, the radio reception goes down significantly, i thought my antenna was going bad at first, but the radio is clear again when I turn the HIDs off. Any suggestions?

I got my HID's from a local guy on .com named franklin. They've been pretty good, just had 1 issue with a bad ballast which he replaced for free (which i probably blew myself trying to install it on my own and messing up the wiring haha). i paid 130 for 3K 9006 HID's for my headlights. All of us over on that board get our HID's from him and no have complaints at all. He's a Jersey guy but i believe he will ship. Just go to .com and scroll down to sponsors and click Bright Lights Inc.

Well thats good to hear that the 9006 kits fit, my buddy asked me last week if I wanted to buy his kit from him in box, unused for 20$ of PIAA's, which I heard are a great brand, so Im gonna go ahead and buy him, how does the install of these work?

PIAA is a great brand, if it's a real kit and not just bulbs that's a steal for $20. All you do is plug and play

you can refer to this thread

where can i find the upgraded wiring harness that he speaks of.
