Seems to me that it's kinda difficult to upgrade from what we have now. We have 4300K (or thereabouts) HIDs, which are about as bright as they get.

Maybe he meant upgrade the fogs with HIDs? I've seen people retrofit dual projectors....

Indeed-he's talking about the fogs, not the headlights. The stock fogs are halogen, not HID.

i bought my hid fog light kit from kaixen with the 6500k purple and the replacement bulbs for the low beams to match it up nicely. its like dings but with a purplish tints. i think the fogs that we get from acura is ugly.

If you are looking KAIXEN HID upgrade bulbs you can find them here:

https://acurazine.com/forums/sponsored-sales-group-buys-10/kaixen-hid-kit-groupbuy-330409/

Kaixen is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer that develops and builds its own components (unlike some companies that buy them and re-assemble it). It currently holds E13, TUV, and QS9000 quality certifications. It is the only other company in the world (other than Phillips) to have developed the diamond-shape bulbs.

I tried using 5 different companies before trying out KAIXEN products and I won't sell another product after seeing the quality, durability, and price.
