To be honest fitment was not PERFECT. The Ebay fog would accept a standard halogen H11 bulb no problem. The problem came when I wanted to put in the HID bulb. The tabs and housing were not a perfect match. I did a lil minor filing and dremelling here and there and finally it twisted in. Dorks don't machine these things properly. I don't mind the tight seal anyways, keeps everything nice and watertight.

Oh well, I don't care, I paid crazy cheap for this stuff and I wasn't expecting much. It's been performing perfectly for me and the matching 8000Ks are awesome. Way worth it and very glad I did it.

Word, those aftermarket bulbs don't fit well. I used a sealant too just retrofitting a 9006 into the foglight housings for the 04-06 headlight. Can't go wrong. They're cheap and work just fine. If I was more serious about lighting, I would have replaced the projector lenses with ZKW replica lenses.

You can use the H11 HID bulbs, they will fit in the accord housing just fine. I have 3500k in my ride and have no problems. The kit took about an hour to install, most of the hassle was with mounting the ballast in a dry area, so I removed the bumper and installed them way up. I clipped the stock wires for the fogs and ran them down to the accord fogs, easy to do.
