So I have very little knowledge on HID so here is my dumb question. I want to buy an HID kit from DDM Tuning and I know you get the 6000k and 35w but what bulb do you get there are all difrent types of bulbs do I get a 9006 or an h1 I'm confused in this part. I have stock headlights if that's something you need to know and Deev already sugested I get some auxilary harness so what am I missing? Thanks

HID bulb question

well the HID COMES WITH THE HARNESS, the metal box which supplies the power, THE BULBS AND THE WIRINGS....THE only promblem is what is the model and what legal bulb your getting....i know that for sure 9006 is for 90-93 accord..So just ask the person about the model or else if you get the wrong bulb , it won't tighten or fit in properly also there is a variety of voltage and brightness, the higher the bulb the more you have to upgrade the harness, for example overr 12000k need 65 watt harness each side compare to using a 8000k bulb which is needed only 35 watt harness each side...... 3500k and below is yellow, 4000k to 5000k is plain stock, 6000k is bright white, 8000k is blue, 10000k is dark blue 12000k is over more darker purple....Over 20000k is beyond illegal to sell in canada and can be very dangerous....I don't if your place has a certain focus limit...But if i were you 8000k-10000k is good enough, i wouldn't go over the boundary. OR ELSE COPS WILL PULL YOU.HID ARE A ILLEGAL, SO check if in the book if there is any violation in putting HID , so choose the right bulb..!!!! also if you know how to install, just a tip don't touch the bulbs itself, causing this may put human oil filament, which creating a chance the bulb won't last long
GOOD LUCK AND ENJOYLast edited by mercyboy; 07-07-2010, 03:33 PM.VS

all he is asking about is the headlight bulb number, not a long-winded diatribe about HID conversion kits.
Lakersfan, it's the 9006 bulb for low-beam bulb application. If you have JDM headlights, then it is the H4 bulb.
Here is the full light bulb application guide: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...&threadid=1183Last edited by Nurega; 07-07-2010, 03:43 PM.Original-Owner 1991 Honda Accord

The Kelvin rating has nothing to do with wattages....but for our cars do not go over 35w....The wattage rating is only rated at when the HIDs are up and running....when initially turned on HIDs can draw upwards of 80 watts.....you DO NOT want to go high on the wattage scale as the cb7s wiring is old and high wattage systems will only increase the strain on wires that were never designed to handle it.
Dont talk out of your ass and spread misinformation....the only thing you got correct was to not touch the bulb.
But to answer your second question lakersdude....If the projectors take a stock accord bulb (9005 or whatever) then it will take the same HID bulb....shouldnt be any harder....tho I have no experience with them as the only projectors worth fucking around with (only HID system really) are legit ones outta cars like TSXs and the like.Last edited by King James; 07-07-2010, 04:25 PM.

Thanks KING so will this set up work 6000k,35 watt, 9006 bulb on my stock headlights. Have been reading all these threads on HIDS on alot of people seem to be running these 6000k because they look white and actually produce light and the 8000k are just blueish and don't have good visibilty. I just want to make sure I can see at night and obiously look good.
