D2S is actually pretty good on the 03-05 OEM headlights too. Noticeably brighter without much added glare.
But yea for this it's absolutely worth it. Even more worth it to get some name brand bulbs like the Philips 85122+s
Sporty accord... Completely agree.. If you recall I had 2+ year old Kioto d2s's in the depos originaly.. I figured hey Ill just grab some morimoto 3five 4300k's to brighten them back up from all the color shift... In all honestly im very disappointed with these bulbs. Everyone at TRS hypes them up like theyre OEM equal.. The 3fives bulbs practicly ruined my cutoff.. Ive seated them every which way with spacers on angles.. Everything.. 2 times the glare. cutoff isn't as sharp.. Lost 50% of the colorband.. AND one of the bulbs looks 5000k compared to the other.. Which seems a consistant 4300... Anyway I digress.. I spoke to somebody at TRS and told him that ive had them on for 5 hours. he told me to wait another week for them to fully shift.. Which we both know there is no possible way the one bulb is going to magicly match the color of the other.. Kind of disappointed with TRS just on this specific sale.. Havnt done much business with them and I plan to do more.. Just thought the whole process would be easier.. 2 day shipping also took 5 days.. While speaking to him he also said.. "Oh 85122's blow the 3fives out of the water with brightness and optics".. Which I knew.. But then why hype up these 3fives???? Theyre 50+ Shipped. But IMO ebay d2s's are probably just as good as 3fives.. My Unknown spec KIOTO's out shine these... And weight aprox 5 grams more.. Which says something. Wow what a rant... Sorry guys
I'm just pissed because these darn depo rear covers are such a pia to get on & off lol
Yeah, those covers suck. But on the plus side, the lights were super easy to bake apart. 250* for 14 mins and they pealed right apart. Now to just get them back together and sealed with the painted shrouds and new lenses.
Nah def not it just seems I'm the only one with the problem .
maybe try using a little bit of the black RTV silicone sealant w/o taking them apart. or, if you are feeling brave, crack them open, clean up, maybe do other mods (clear lense, halo), reseal properly, and hope for the best.
Thanks for the pics. Thats weird that you sealed them again and theyre still getting condensation... Mine literally fogged up because i had the rear covers off for 20 minutes.. But then it went away.. On/Off condensation will haze things over a long period. Can you snap some good pics off the cutoff with the new lens'? Ive been on the fence about doing them for a while.

I didn't reseal I'm about to attempt it though when It's a little nicer out

Go to Kohl's or any department store and grab a few Silica Gel packs out of the shoe box's and throw them in there before you close them back up. They should absorb alot of excess condensation in there!

Ok cool thanks , I was honestly just going to add a bead of silicone over what seems to be the opening at the bottom that's letting the water in . Bad idea ? Or ....
