    I'm interested in installing HID lights on my hona accord. probably using a
    color temp of 6000k or 8000k. a few questions. has anyone done this with an
    06 honda? how hard is it to install? can I do it myself? I found a few sites
    that sell the conversion kits, and it seems like I just remove my old bulbs,
    put in the HID bulbs, and the wire in the ballist for each light (planning
    on doing just the low beam HID lights) it says it comes with a wiring
    harness so does it just plug into the oem harness for the lights? thanks a
    lot in advance

    Post this question to rec.autos.tech.

    There is a poster there who does automotive lighting for a living. He is
    the definitive source for answers on this subject.

    Coming in late on this thread, but... check the vehicle regs in your
    area before you even bother doing this. Here in BC, HIDs are illegal
    unless the car came with them from the factory. They don't hunt you
    down if you install them, but if you're caught, it's a good-sized fine
    and your vehicle will likely be written up for inspection, in which case
    it's not allowed on the road until it's passed inspection, which means
    removing the HIDs and reinstalling the stock lighting... that's a lotta
    wasted effort.

    Just a word of warning...
