Hey guys, still tossing up between getting HIDs or crystal visions in a standard accord euro. The stock lights are pretty crap atm, but still not sure which one to get, has anyone got a good comparison between them in the accord euro projectors? Also has anyone had issues with defects/insurance issues? I'd be sticking to around 5000-6000K but if there's a lot of issues, i might just stick with crystal visions

Go crystal vision. They are less ugly and yellow when compared to the standard globes and shouldn't have any trouble from the cops with them since the light they produce is white.

HID's in a standard Euro are technically illegal since you don't have headlight washers or auto levelers.

Agreed.Also the projectors in the std model dont really work that well with HIDs as projectors are different in both std.and lux.models.

Agree with Tony there!!! Get yourself a Set of HID Projectors from the Euro Lux... Should find them around on ebay and wreckers... They fit Snugg and you wont blind anyone driving the other way.

Try the narva blue power globes. They are +80's, and cost about $40 a pair.
I highly recommend them, but they are nothing compared to HIDs.
Depending on where I end up work wise, I will be going HIDs.

It's not that bad.It's just that the cutoff is not quite right due to the projectors.

I have a spare H1 HID slim kit if you go with just HID kit.

has anyone tried the MTEC extended wattage, not sure which one would be brighter? Crystal vision or mtec 100w extended.

Halogen lights are just no where near HID brightness. I have a set of PIAA halogen, pushes to 120w still no where near HID..

I always see oncoming ones, thinking it's some fool in an older civic/lude or something... but then i'm shocked to see it's a euro.. wtih projectors!

the HID euros have auto-levellers :O? that's awsome!

What kind of bulbs are in the CU2 Euro Hid low beam and high beam, and what kind of temps can you replace them with if you really wanted to ?
