98-02 Accord HID retrofit...

For all of the 6th generation Accord Owners I have found a pretty reliable set of Aftermarket Headlights that work real good with some oem xenon projectors.

THE HEADLIGHTS:

Euro G2 Projector Headlights

PROJECTORS:

Audi TT or BMW E46


After Taking apart the headlights you will see that the aftermarket projector is very similar to the xenon unit. They even have the same oval shape. With some minor triming the xenon projectors will almost fit perfectly in the same bolting position as the old ones.

VERY EASY retrofit for me. Plus the xenon projectors are small so you don't have to cut a hole in the back, you just need to find a better seal for waterproofing.

Yeah, The light is a lot better than the APC projector headlights.

The inner part of the headlight is made of the same composite material as the Factory Accord's headlights. Adjustments are the same too.

I did a retrofit with those lights on my accord a while back with X5 projectors, the posting may still be available somewhere around page 16 in the forum. However, the quality of the projector lamps is not so good just like most of the aftermarket manufacturers including APC. Especially the finish of the inside, I have the chrome ones and the chrome literally rubbed off with my fingers. Furthermore, the fitment sucks, too. I had to do a lot of adjustment to make them fit well with the fenders and bumper. So good luck and take your time.

I remember "jets" used H9 hella 90mm. The E46 projectors are a better choice if they go in with less mods. And no need to reinvent the wheel with H9-D2S mod.

DJ, are u sure about the functions of the different fixtures? As far as I can see/think of, there is only one turn signal feature. I think the curved lense (that are not low beam) is some sort of obscure DRL function.
