2009 Accord Sedan Retrofit + Recent Photos

Post by Aramas »

Been a while since I've been on here. Just wanted to share some updates.

Here's some photos I took back in January during the one good day of snow:

Now for the most recent mod. Had my retrofit done by Rich @ HID Illusionz. Received them at the end of January, just now got time to install and finally got the halos wired up. Here's some pictures with the DSLR:

Switch for the CCFL halos:

And here's some photos from my iPhone of the output and cutoff, along with a better idea of what the halos look like behind the shroud, taken two days before the DSLR shots:

And here's a better picture of the halos lighting behind the shroud from HID Illusionz until I can get a better one:

Will get better pictures at night when I get a chance. Thunderstorm happened tonight, so that was out of the question.

Retrofit specs are...
* S2000 AP1 Low Beams with TSX-R Clear Lens
* MDX H11 Halogen Projectors (Flipped upside down) High Beams
* Osram 66240CBI bulbs (Currently with 2-3 hours of use. After break in at 20 hours, it'll produce a white 5000K color with approximately 3400 lumens)
* Mitsubishi Electric Gen III/IV Ballasts and Igniters (Same found on the 3G TL), mounted in OEM location under the sedan's headlights
* Gatling Gun v1 Shrouds
* CCFL Halos mounted behind the shrouds
* Housing painted low gloss black, Dodge red used on the shrouds
* Tinted Amber Reflectors

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the final product.

Looks nice, not really feeling the lower grill being painted red though. The retro-fits came out really good.

Retrofits look great... all the red besides the Type R badge was a bad choice.

Nice... I like the red halos... not the grill so much, but it doesn't look bad..besides that loving the front end.

Awesome job on the retrofit. Very detailed. The red accents and 'R' badges kill it for me though.

The retrofits are nice! But whats with everyone wanting the halo's?

Also not a fan of the red accents. Maybe if it was more subtle it would be better.

Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.
Hope this helps
