'03 accord HID to Civic???
the '03 accord now comes with HIDs, so i was wondering if anyone knew what bulb type it takes. does anyone know if its a H4 bulb, and if so would it fit our cars? this way i could just buy the HID kit straight from the Honda dealer.

HIDs are complete systems. You can't just plug and play an HID bulb into a Halogen lighting system and instantly have HID. You need the wiring, the bulbs, the ballasts and most importantly THE HOUSINGS. The HID bulbs give off a different beam pattern than halogens so you're gonna need HID reflectors to properly aim the beam. H4 is not an HID bulb. They have their own numbering system to them.
