Hey guys just curious, i already had a look in some forum posts on the site,but still wasnt too sure what size headlights i needed, like H1 or H4?
i have an 06 accord euro CL9, and i wanted to change the bulb to a white glow not the standard yellowish one, what bulb will i need? 4800K? anything higher than that will have a blueish tinge yeh?
Sorry abit confused with the lights :( Any help will be much appreciated :)

Depends if you have a Standard Euro or the Lux... If its Lux then you have HID Osram XenArc D2S 4300K (Yellowy white) If how ever you have a Standard then its the H1... As MrDC2 said but in my opinion 6000k is blue... not white at all. I've got a a set of MTec 4350K and they match my HID which are stock perfectly... But go for the next one up in the Mtec range if you want a more white colour 4750K Cosmos Blue... Had them but they didn't suite my stock HID...

Maybe this will help...

Hey sorry guys I'm
Hopeless at the electronics side of cars, the one I ordered is
This

H1 White HID XENON 6000K Halogen Headlight Bulb 12V 100W
But the one I think I need is this

H1 White HID XENON 6000K Halogen Headlight Bulb 12V 55W

They both have 12v , so does that mean I can run the 100w one without frying anything? Or do I still need the 55w one?
Sorry to be a pain but thanks for the help
