i dunno if i posted in the right forum so mods can move but...

hey guys, my gf just got a 05 V6 accord and the first and only thing she wants to do to the car is get HID lights, she's so use to it cause of driving my 00 TL. so is it possible and what exactly do i need to buy? am i able to take out my TL's HIDs and put them on.. i don't exactly know this subject very well...appreciate the help guys/girls.

 

You can buy an HID kit... Why would you take out the HID's from your TL?

 

oh no i def. wouldn't do that, but just thought i'd ask if it's possible ya know..

do you know where and what brand are the best? also, what are the prices for these things so i don't get ripped off when looking..

 

Well it is possible, thats why so many people get their HID's jacked. Do a search on HID kits, the run around $500 I think. Not 100% sure.

 

just go get a set of HID kit...

 

but which brand do i get and what kit do i get.. thats what i'm lost on..

 

go to those car's shop n have a ask.....if u get a set of aftermarket HID...u should check out other colour....u get it??....like...sum of it will be more blue than our OEM TL HID...

 

you can order them online. I'm not sure what bulb numbers her car takes but many places online sell them and one guy on here KrazyTL or something like that works at a place. Do a search for HID kit or HID conversion and that will tell you a bunch of places to get them.

The ones I know of: www.hidexpress.com , http://www.plasmagarage.com (thats where I got my 6000K bulbs)


I don't know if the KITS come with the bulbs, the bulbs have the different color, not the HID kit itself.

 

alright, go on ebay.com and do a search for Hella HID kit......make sure it's genuine Hella brand.....that'll last a long time.....it'll be around $420-$520.

 

whatwasthat,
HID kits can be a tricky thing. Some halogen reflectors work better than others accepting a kit. On my MDX, I started out with a kit but was not happy with all of the glare. I ended up putting some Audi european projectors into my reflector housings. It's a little more work (but can be less money) than a kit. Plus you have OEM parts that can be replaced much cheaper than proprietary kit parts. A couple of good places to get kits are xenondepot.com and hid-online.com. Shawn744 is correct. Stick with a Hella/Philips kit (both ballast and bulbs) and you should be ok. Good luck with your decision.

 

ohhh ok. thanks guy/girls. so stick with hella and philips...

btw, isn't the MDX HID already - aren't they projector style...? like the 3rd gen TL?

 

The MDX has always had halogen. It now has halogen projectors. But halogen is halogen and xenon is xenon. You can put a kit in the halogen projectors but you are still dealing with a projector that is not designed for the output of xenon. The TL bixenons are awesome!!
