good question, maybe it just means that the Acura's don't have autoleveling motors.. ? Maybe the author only knows of one example, it seems strange that there would only be one exception.
I don't even know what an autoleveling motor is, but it sounds kind of self-explanitory.

will get 5000k for my Fit.

Thats just the kind of attitude people talk about.. sacrificing quality, reliability, and safety to save some money. Also, you are putting less lumens onto the road. You can't see as well. They are not better than stock, that is a fact.

Thanks to everyone for the rep.......Or if you haven't given rep then GIVE IT!!!!

Yah i got this link from another forum when a guy selling a srt4 with a 12000K HID kit and some other guy called him on it. When he tried to retaliate, the guy sprung this website on him and explained to him why scientifically his lights were NOT the HID hawt shit he thought they were.

This was also an educating experience for me too. Instead of ging HID's i might just go with a brand new pair of headlights with some silverstars......

BTW there are some other postings on HID's, B-xenon bulbs and I learned why

some lights only produce glare, but doing it right produces good light.

You will have to put some words in the search bar top right corner.

I was putting in some projectors from Japan in my 89 Accord, and things were going really well.

Got them cut, shaped, epoxied in.......and then I dropped it and the lense cracked......

Glad I had a spare set... lol
