Is the install hard? How long will it take? Are there any cutting of wires involved and stuff?

Thanks in advance.
Installation isn't that bad. If you do everything right and you have an extra pair of hands, I'd say 2-3 hours. For me it was longer. Took me about 1 hour extra to make my relay nice and pretty (soldering, shrink tube, etc) 24hr to make the connector since I had to seal and let the rtv dry.
I got h8 bulbs and the connector didn't fit properly. Instead of slicing into the stock harness, I made my own connector which fits. Might want to talk to Tripnbeats if you don't want to use relays. If you do, pm me and I can send you the diagram on how to make the relay. Orelse if other people want, I can just post them here.

NO, it wouldn't work... because the accord fogs use the H11 bulb...
so i just buy the H11 Kit instead?
thank for the advice!

I would suggest that you purchase the HID kit when you're ready to install it onto the retrofited accord fogs... 'cause the H11 bulb won't fit anywhere else in the car...
