That is one smart comment. It may make you look amusing. But to Berlina black who is still relatively new to this forum. Asking simple questions. Instead of trying to help him. You made your judgement with smart remarks. This is a free forum, peopel say whatever they want to say. But sometimes when you don't have nothing nice to say, you can keep it to yourself.

The only possible "upgrade" as far as I see would be to change the bulbs and ballasts to something that was a higher wattage and put out more lumens.

I'm glad you brought the type of respect from Honda Tech to this forum.

But it will get dimmer, not brighter. If you are looking for brighter, go with white color'ish HID. They will light up the road more.

I got nothing against you, but you're spitting out incorrect and not-so-great information. CRX7 is pretty spot-on in his remarks.
Upgrading implies, to me, that you're bettering what you've got already. Well, I have yet to see any HID bulb that's better suited for daily driving use on public roads than the ones that come with the car which are Philips bulbs rated at 4300K.
Any higher Kelvin and you're bordering rice because it's purely for cosmetic reasons on an important car function that has an effect on every other driver that you share the road with, especially at night.
With that said, I believe Philips has or will be releasing a German-made, real deal ~5400K bulb designed to replace those Philips bulbs that have been running on cars for several years to better match the "blueing" that occurs since their bulbs go higher up in the Kelvin rating scale as they age with minimal effect on output in lumens. Say one bulb goes and you pop in a new bulb. Colors will be different. So shove in the ~5400K replacement to even it out.
Not saying you're going to kill anyone for going blue (such is the reason why ricers still exist with their choice mods), but it ain't no upgrade for sure. Spend your money elsewhere.
Comes correct or don't come at all.
Cheers,

And now days everybody just jumps on eachother. Maybe this is not a useable upgrade. Maybe this upgrade is stupid. But that is all opinion to each his own. And the word "Rice" is so ... harsh.

If you check out a few other forums around, there's alot of user bashing.
