that's because DC5s and EKs headlight housings are not designed for retrofit HID bulbs. to be honest in my couple of years of driving the CL9 then now CU2, i never got flashed from an oncoming car. and it's always annoying seeing an oncoming car with retrofitted HIDs.
but don't get me wrong, i am not against it. it's totally everyone's choice. i've been playing with headlight bulbs since 1996 when i got a 1996 civic vti sedan and fitted a 90/110 wattage H4. then later on i played with relay cables to properly fit those high wattage bulbs in my 2001 RAV4 (in blue tinted, yellow tinted, rainbow tinted bulbs; tried them all) without melting the OEM cables. also added CATZ driving light in 130w H3 yellow bulbs. at the end i stayed with Phillips Rally 90/110w H4 for many years because the untinted bulbs are actually the brightest. all these were done to make my beam brighter / look cooler without considering glare to other people
my parents own a car spare parts and accessories shop overseas, that's why i was able to source many of those things
if you park a car with retrofitted HIDs and a car with OEM HIDs in front of a white wall, you should be able to see why. the beam from retrofitted HID headlights smears all over the wall without a clear cut (but halogen bulbs will show proper cut off) while OEM HIDs beam clearly show clear cut off at the right height level (unless it's out of alignment).
i looked at both the links below i already have powerful hid as stock in the accord euro i wanted to change my foggies to clear light. the link u sent me makes them more yellow?
I had a BMW X5 or some shit behind me yesterday..Killed my life for like 10 mins on a one way road.. I wish the EK wasn't so little, it's because they're so high

clear light as in white.. it doesn't ahve to be as powerfull as the hid but i would like that colour.. the yellow foggies just ruin the image of the car.

if you want white >4000k (blue tinted halogen bulbs) there are plenty of options out there from the cheapest ones (sort of useless, it's nice to look at the car but minimal visibility when driving) to PIAA bulbs: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PIAA-...Q5fAccessories
or retrofit H11 HIDs to increase your ability to blind other drivers!!
for H11 in yellow 2500k, there are really 2 options in the market: Nokya & PIAA.
but having blue tinted bulbs in your foggies is kind of useless during times when you are legally allowed to turn them on in NSW.
nb: the police will book cars with fog lights turned on unless the weather is in adverse condition.
ruining the image.. it depends on the view. some jdm race cars even have yellow tinted headlight lenses! to maximise visibility during race perhaps?
yeah, kural7, do the high beam (HB3) with HIDs retrofit, then foggies (H11) with HIDs too! you can buy them from JDMYard w/ 5 yrs replacement warranty too!
benefits:
1. reduced wattage usage = save petrol
2. maximum blinding weapon!
