Dude, if you flashed them on and off people would think you're a cop, and you could clear through traffic so fast =)

I think a vendor or a group buy is on this forum for the Kaiden X (or something like that) HID's they come in White, Blue, and Purple Hues.

I'm assuming you've crossed the 50,000 mile mark (since your sig indicates a 04 model)..

....or is the warranty on the TSX 45,000miles?

I thought headlights were wear & tear items? How long do they usually last, and does anyone know how much replacement OEM bulbs are? Just curious...mine are fine so far.

Bulbs are wear and tear....like wiper blades. How long do they last? Unless all you do is night driving, they should last a long time. Definitely longer than 2 yrs. Anyhow, after an accident that took out my head light assembly, a replacement OEM HID bulb ran me $160.

Interesting. There are A LOT of little parts in there! Tres chic compared to the $18 I paid for a halogen bulb on another car a couple years ago. LOL. HID's are worth the price, though.

There was a thread regarding the warranty on the HIDs. I believe there is only one year warranty on the HID bulbs.
