I finally decided it was time to match my 6000k HID's so I purchased some 55w HID fogs from Retrosolutions. These make my headlights 30-40% brighter EASILY. Cant wait to upgrade the low beams to 55w and add some lower valence 55w HID fogs using the OEM accord kit as well this winter. It will be lit up light the 4th of july!

Oh BTW, these pics only show my Left 55w bulb installed. The right side of the car still has some old Nokya 6000k halogens.

I like it...the only problem is EVERYONE and their mother will now be flashing you back thinking you have your high beams on......that's the only reason I haven't done it.....(3 HID kits on one car, overkill? If you ask Rodney he'd say NO WAY, lol he's got HID backup lights!!!!)

haha, hilarious about Rodney. However, i have driven quite a bit at night and havent gotten flashed this week. As you cans see from the pics, the fogs are aiming level or downward - Not up. It looks safe to me. I definately didnt want to be pissing people off!

I wonder if most people realize the more light you throw in front of the car, the crappier your mid-long range night vision becomes? The ground immediately in front of the car will be so brightly lit, that your eyes' iris will constrict, allowing less light to enter. So although you get to see the 40 or so feet clearly, 40' zooms by in a blink of an eye when you're traveling at 65mph. It'll be harder to see objects just above the horizon.

I'm not knockin' the setup. It looks great visually. But just bringing up the point that your eyes won't be operating at their optimum due to the increase in light and contrast.
