So, what is the proper upgrade for the coupe lights?

stick to your halogens.
If you wanna be the guinea pig, purchase a pnp hid kit and the result might be good as they may not be(for the coupe that is)
The sedan uses a reflective halogen setup, so a pnp kit there is a no-no.

i want to get my honda headlight retro with projector hids but 1000 to 1500 is just way over priced.

what makes you think that's the total cost?
the total cost is in the 600-700 range.
Again, some people pay 300 for ballasts alone and 100-120 for HID bulbs when u can get better OEM ballasts for 140, true HID bulbs for 20 . Savings: $260

Retro is the way to go...
8th Accords don't deserve reflecting ones...
They want a laser!!

Hi all. Just purchased a 8th gen accord (alabaster silver, I4, EX-L) this past saturday. Very nice car! I was just curious to see if anyone has installed a pnp kit yet and if so, how they performed with the halogen projectors. I would like to go HID and I know doing a retro would be my best route but just wondering how the pnp kits looked.

Thanks Matt

Where can I get a retro fit kit for 800 or so? I would rather do it correctly if at all possible.
