HID Headlamps...Only for the Hybrid? [View News Item] (Score: 1, Normal)

Do my eyes deceive me, or do those look like HID Xenon headlamps? Before you say anything about camera lighting and stuff, compare them to the fog lights, which are obviously halogen. The headlights have a definite 4300k tint when compared to the other lights.

And my second thought: are these for the Hybrid only, or will the Touring trim also add HID headlamps?

I'd say that HID's are reserved for higher trims of both the hybrid and regular Accord. The Touring trim should be available on the hybrid too.

If they're for the hybrid only then I would hope they're LED and not HID.

Given the RLX and NSX will debut with LED headlights I really don't see that technology available on the Accord. HID's make more sense and are probably much cheaper to boot.

I would say HID's on the Touring and either the same on the Hybrid or something different. See "My take" on this thread.......
