The Accord Euro Luxury has 4500k HID's standard... i was wondering if changing to like 8000k HID would involve more then just changing the bulb?? Must the ballasts and wires be changed as well?? Can anybody enlighten me on this topic...
I had my standard halogens converted to 8000k HID and when I did, the guy at the shop that I bought them from said that you can't use 8000k bulbs on a ballast meant for 4500k bulbs... cuz I was thinking of upgrading to that first and change the bulb to 8000k later if necessary... but apparently it doesn't work that way.... go figure!!
Anyway, go for the 8000k. I think it will go really well with your body kit... noice!!
Henry wats ur light output on the 8000k HID... Is the road still very clear like the standard HID's on the euro?? Or is it much worse?? The standard HID's lights up the road very well...
Well if the light output is much less on a 8000k i aint gonna change it just for the bright blue/purple effect...

How can I describe it to you? MUCH MUCH brighter than standard halogens (can't compare to factory HID cuz I never had them). The linemarking on the road is virtually glowing at night and the road is lit up much much further than with any other car I've driven. Highway driving is a cruise at night cause you can see so much further... I can go on and on...
It's up to you dude... if you want good lighting without the bling factor then stick with your factory HID.
But why are we even thinking of this mod if not for the bling factor??
Are the Diamond Vision any good Nick???
Probably gives it a more blueish tinge to it...
sourced this from the autobarn web site...
both r halogen bulbs... and both have reduced light output than standard globes
Crystal Vision Performance Globes
CrystalVision is a very white light with a colour temperature of 4300K. The amount of light output is slightly less than that of a standard globe but is much whiter / bluish. Gives a definite blue appearance when you look into the headlight lens.
Diamond Vision Performance Globes
DiamondVision is the ultimate blue light with a colour temperature of 5000K. The amount of light output is reduced compared to a standard globe but provides that incredible blue/white light. Gives a strong blue appearance when you look into the headlight lens.
