I also love the HIDs. I miss them whenever I drive one of my other cars. 
I would say that the 'whiter' non-HID aftermarket bulbs loose some useable light though. I had PIAA superwhite bulbs in my SUV, and I couldn't see as well as with standard halogens.

I think trying to actually swap them to actual halogen bulbs would be a real project, not as easy as just swapping them in. The suggestion to install amber or yellow fog lights sounds like it might be a good one.

i don't have a tsx but here's my . coming from stock halogen's,then noyka's, my hid's are a night/day diff. i do agree under street light/in rain the halogen's SEEM more effictive cuz you actually see the beam.yellow is best for fog conditions. my educated opinion is more light output more visability.
sidenote:tsx projectors>*
6k kaixen hid vs noyka
vs stock
look at the diff.........

What is the option?
Can I change the HID with a regular yellow head light?
