              You need to adjust your headlights. When you pop your hood look at the headlights, At the corner of them next to the fender you will see a Phillips head screw. Turn the screw and it will move the headlight up or down.

                    if they are off centered now then they were off cencered before.

                    Where you light shines has nothing to do with you HIDs.

                    Adjust your headlights like previously said

                      As mentione readjust them and either way you are going to glare because of the reflective nature of the stock housing. Either way you need to retrofit.

                        Its called they will look like ass in a stock Accord housing because it simply wasn't designed for it. A good halogen projector can be upgraded to HID with reasonable results, but a regular reflector housing typically will not work well with a HID at all.

                        Yes, I know there are cars out there that have reflector housings and HIDs....they're not ideal either but at least the reflector was designed with HIDs in mind.

                          projectors in cb7 headlights looks disgusting. they done look right. he should be fine. my uncle has a cr-v without a projector and it looked sweet, now he got those *** ebay projector headlights. its still similar to stock lens, just more focused.

                            true that. my HID'S don't have any glare at all. I'll take a pic tomorrow. I don't have projectors either. just the factory headlights.

                              quickangel: Some stock housings work better than other, I grant you that. In your uncle's case, it is true that most ebay projector headlights are total trash regardless of what bulb you use in them. Retrofitted CB7 housings may not look "right", but the light output so much better you won't care.

                              jhondayaaj: How can you agree with me and then say that your stock housings have no glare? That just doesn't make sense. At one point I did consider putting HIDs into blackhoused headlights thinking that it would cut down on the glare. I never did bother though. Glad I didn't waste my money on the kit at that time.
