The new accords don't have projector lenses? Those hondas come stock with HIDs..?
I have the same black halos as you. We just talked in your other thread(s). So you would recommend HIDs in ebay halo headlights? How long have you had them installed? I don't really feel like spending ~$70 to melt my lights.

Ive driven on my stock once for about 2 weeks then i installed halos and couldnt drive because of license issue but you can ask anyone that Halos that we got are made pretty much for hids, Start a thread and you will get the same response from many people

Uh it says on the headlights and everywhere that HIDs cannot be used with them... They are not meant to stand the heat given off. Which is why I'm asking you with your personal experience if it has been working fine.

I believe the newer Accord Coupes do come with projector headlights.

Some cars that don't come equipped with HID's (ie: pre-facelift A4) do not have the proper headlights to go with HID's. Will it work? Of course it will. Is it dangerous? That's the question and unless someone finds a way to modify it, I wouldn't recommend running it.

Cars that came stock with HID's have the cut-off point, in which when you park your car 15-feet away from a wall will have a cut off point somewhere on your eye-level in which will not blind oncoming traffic.



Also the police have some type of meter that they use to determine whether or not it is legal. They would ask you to turn on the headlight and measure how high those lights aim with the cut-off point and such.
