anyone uses them?  any review?

Canadian Tire's ad says they're 90% brighter... which I don't quite believe...

My accord's headlights are so weak... suggestion?

They are brighter but I don't think it's 90% brighter though.  However, these bulbs tend to burn more quickly.

HID... don't waste money on halogen bulbs.

Please don't try HID unless your car's headlamp is projector type.

There are enough cars on the road using HID with reflector type which projects bright intensity light everywhere as if highbeam is on. This cause such road hazard to cars in the opposite direction and the cars in front of you, where the crazily bright light shines directly into the drivers' eyes.

You can lower the angle of the housing if you don't have projector. I know my friend did that it works just fine.

I think as long as you don't use higher than 6000k, you will be ok.

how cheap? where?

And... how to know if my car has projector style or not?

Monkii

Problem is...how many people really bother adjusting the angle...

Projector type = you only see the front spherical glass


Reflector type = you see the silver reflective parabolic bowl

isn't 4300k brighter than 6000k (thats what i always thought)?

i thought 8000k is more blue and dimmer than 6000k and 6000k is dimmer than 4300k.....
