35 watt. 55 watt runs the problem of melting the housings or burning the chrome.
People have hooked them up without a wire harness but I'd make one just to be one the safe side so you don't burn up the stock harness.
Bulb size. H11? Is that why your manual says? Then yes.
I'd recommend doing this the right way and retrofitting in projectors otherwise you'll have glare city. I don't care what other say "I dont glare anyone, they're aimed low" light still scatters and is annoying.

Dude thanks a bunch!!
-The part number is 08V31-SDA-101, i just called Honda they confirmed bulb size H11..( so if the bulb size in the fog is H11, thats what im getting in HID kit so they match?)
-The harness i never did it my self ...is there something i can look at some manual or link or just buy the thing?
-Well monies r tight so ill stick with reg for now..but let me ask you if i was to smoke/tint half the lens would that just scater the light on the ground with out any kind of blinding effect?

Burning Brakes
Nope. Those lenses are not designed to handle the increased output from the HID bulbs. Plus, the bulb's origin of light is probably in a different location within the housing.

As far a harness goes, I always have my retrofitter make me one since I'm not very good with wiring.
This one should work with your HID kit. Just google H11 HID relay harness.

2) H11 is correct. 9006 is the same as H11
3 & 5) Always install a relay harness when adding HIDs. Better safe than sorry.
4) No adapters needed, depending on which kit you order.
6) Switch should be included in the Accord fogs kit.
I use ddmtuning.com for my HID needs. Their Raptor kits are cheap and work well. The Slim Ballast kits are nice, too.

hahah good point, but the light from reg lights and fogs is different, its on a different level - so when im in traffic and a truck or a sedan is shining their shit into my rv mirror is not the same as a car behind me with fogs..u see what im saying.
And also i guess its the price factor...spending another 100 on projectors is not some thing I personally want to do.
