HID kit help

not used to acuras as far as adding an HID kit to the fogs, where do most of u guys get yours from and is it just plug and play?

i want to get brighter lights for my heads as well, what kind of kits do u guys recommend?

I get mine from DDM, as well. You will need a harness from them, too. It is mostly PnP for the install.
The headlights are already HID (D2S). You can change the color temperature by swapping bulbs, but they are pretty bright as is.

kelvins is not a measurement on how bright the light is.
its a scale for color.

4300kelvin is stock.
6000kelvin has a tinge of blue

9006 for the fogs and I got mine from ddm tuning, 8000k 55 Watt (Because the lights are 55 watts they lose a lot of color being so bright, so to match the 6000k of a 35 watt light you need to go up to 8000k to match. You can see the lights here And ya +1 on the harness.
