but the lighting spot is same! the hid bulb's lighting spot is somewhere near the middle, and if you put the halogen and HID together, you can see there lighting spot is the same

Ok instead of trying to settle this subjectively...
Has anyone in a standard euro fitted a decent quality HID kit? And if so do you have comments or Pics or add?
I got mine from Mu Secret, they have their own brand.
Their actually 6000K :p ill try and get sum pic up when i get home tonite. I dont have any pics of it shinning at sumthing tho :s

they should have a clear cut off line in projector headlight, so if on the accord shouldnt be any problem
Even with a set of "quality" HID kit installed in a standard Euro's projector lens, there will be a black trapezium in front of the car and two black lines cutting the light off... Me think it's ooogly... Has nothing to do with the HID, it's the lens...
I think corn_flakes also had the long black lines coming out from under the headlights. :)
I also have HID kit and there's 2 long black lines coming out from under the light. Can't see thm from the driver's seat so functionally not a problem but looks bad.
I have a hid kit...had it for about 3 weeks now...my opinions...
good points - hid kits are really good at lighting up the road, excellent for night time driving in country side. if you live in outer burbs / country :)
+++ :)
average points - A black line which is fairly visible outside the car, but not really visibile inside the car or while driviing (very faint line)
The shadow at the front of the car from the hids (easily fixed by foggies)
Meh !
bad points -
how to replace the hid globes? easy to procure? might have to wait a week from ebay etc. cant just buy from the servo if you are in a pinch.
Lets face it, it is Illegal
cut holes in the cover of the headlights for cables to pass through to the ballasts. seal? dust ? crap in the housing now..
Longevity vs proper hids.? or even standard globes?
- - - -
overall :thumbsdown:
The bad points are fairly important to me as i dont have the skills to effectively fix or return my car to stock with this conversion. in the event of an issue arrising with them
hence i will be returning mine to stock soon
My suggestion is that with stuff like this, its probably better to get the car with all the bits you want, rather than mod it...because unless you are good with cars its probably more expensive to do stuff like this this way..
just my opinion
cheers
i rather worries about the ballast rather than the bulb itself, coz the bulb is hard to blown, but the ballast isn't..... depends where you get it, and what warranty it comes with, so don't buy with oversea seller, you wait for ages for warranty.....
its illegal - ture!! no quesiton about it!
use a propper 22mm hole cutter to drew the hole better and nicer, they should comes with a 22mm plastic hole cover with every hid kit, so it can protect water dust etc to get in the headlight!
