I know other 'cheaper' brands on ebay may only costs ~$40 for a set. yes, quality may vary but that's a nearly 1:6 ratio.......

Hehe see $21 saving right there :P. I mean you can't really go wrong with a local seller (AUS). 100% feedback so far. Looks good to me! :) There are other brands like Osram/Narva which I heard are decent. Probably cheaper to, but knowing myself I'd probably go with Philips ones anyway haha. With Philips HIDs they are very very dear, compared to the ones you can get for under $100 on eBay. I've heard Philips are the best in the HID kit/bulbs department. Not sure why they're so exxy though =\. Most HIDs are made in China these days anyways, even those "Japanese" branded ones haha

hey guys any one no if a after market body kit will effect my warranty on my cu2 i have rang honda about exhaust and speaker changes and they keep telling me the same thing that if it creates a problem to the car it will void your warranty so pretty much they will blame it on me, had a issue with my set belt buckle and they blamed it on me saying i dropped a liquid in there which i haven't after a big load of B.S they ended up repairing it on warranty... SO Was wondering if they would make some reason that the body kit will effect the warranty

Personally I wouldn't think so? It doesn't affect the performance or any electronics of the car. Hehe did you buy an after market body kit??

after market body kit is only a cosmetic modification so i doubt it will affect your warranty, they are only harsh on engine modifications etc.

that kit has been spoken of throughout this thread for about 20+ pages,
here's the direct link to bodykitskingdom website, with the page of the 'TYPE S Kit':
http://www.bodykitskingdom.com.au/euro-8th.htm

Andrew (nesterjester) is probably the first one on this thread to have bought one from bodykitskingdom owner Paul.
pictures of it will be in previous pages, and it's so sexy, still not over it yet Andrew!!

Feel free to let me know if you're interested! I can probably get you the kit for $800 including the ducktail/boot lip spoiler he's selling for $150 itself.

Hehe sexy indeed. Here are some *very poor* pics taken with the kit tested on my own CU2 :) As you can see it's a pretty good fit as it is (without glue + bolted down) & it's already been coated with primer so you already save a bit of money there :P

Changing the bulb will be the cheaper option and make a bigger difference. The overlays do not really change the color of the light because they are designed to let a certain percentage of light out.

I did not need to bake them they simply just apply to the top of the fog lens.

are the connection types the same for all h11 bulbs? and is it easy to install? i dont need to take off the bumper to replace fog bulbs do i?

As far as I know the Genuine Honda Fog Lights for the Accord Euro use H11 bulbs. I'm not sure if you have to take the bumper off replace the fog bulbs, but I'm guessing you have to, coz nesterjester recommended me to replace the bulbs and install my fog lights at the same time.
