Here's the seller, located in HongKong, I ordered on the Sunday, and got them on Thursday, they are pretty quick.

And, yes, don't go Bi-Xenon, because HIDS have a warm up period and they dislike getting flicked on and off, and that's how you can destroy them, so imo, i don't think there is much point going for high beams in HIDS, Just stick with the low beams

yea agree, lol these are exactly like mine but i got 8000k colour. tru tru no point getting bi xenon unless you got the projectors, im running low beam and it already provokes enough people to high beam me at night. by the way, does anyone noe why there's a metal plate under the xenon tube???? i took one off but dunt see no difference

Im not exactally sure, but i think its there to direct the light ? I dont see much point of it being on the bottom, should be the top shouldn't it ?

Anyway, still gotta work out a way to adjust the headlights, so they don't aim up so much.

yea, you noe how for h4's, there's 3 pins jutting out of the side of the bulb housing. well when i rotated it around to fit into the original housing, the metal thingy pointed downward. pretty stupid i reckon since the whole point of lighting is to aim the beam down not up.

there's a cicular adjuster just above the headlight, stick a phillips screw driver into this and rotate away, with hids, try to dip as much as possible,

Oh yeah ?

I looked around on the back, but i found metal plates more like little caps protecting somthing inside ? like the adjustment thing ?

Without adding at the very least, headlight washers/squirters they can not be engineered, and i would question the ability for them to be engineered without an automatic levelling system fitted because for them to confirm to the aiming requirements when unlaiden and fully laiden i think it would be difficult to achieve. Plus there's the rules governing high voltage items and insulation etc. (stupid ADR's!!!!)

Either way, you're on the right path, even if they're not engineered, a set of OEM HID projectors, retrofitted into the stock housing will be a leap beyond any hid kit, i don't care if it costs 50 or 5000 bucks, OEM > Aftermarket kit.

just reading through, i was thinking of reducing my light output when i put high beam on. My hid unit consists of a xenon tube and a halogen bulb to the side of it on a h4 plate. When i flick the in dash high beam switch, the halogens go on and the xenon go dim. This is virtually my 'low beam'. (but is still fcken brigh as hell) Is there a way of re-wiring and only operate only just my halogen when i switch high beam. this might be a good idea when i drive near cops lol

Your accord uses seal-beam headlight right?
"For the seal-beam headlight car, you have to change the whole housing every time the light bulb burns out. After you change to this H-4 Headlight Housing, whenever your headlight burn out, all you need to do is change the light bulb. Fit many kind of car, like 86-89 Accord,"
