Do I just buy the bulbs, or are there other parts that I need? What are the best kind of xenon lights to buy? Thanks.

JUST BULBS

well if you are talking about the "xenon" bulbs that you can get on ebay for >$10, then its just bulbs and none are that great... those types of bulbs have a higher wattage usually and has the risk of melting stock harnesses if a relay is not used... but if they are staying halogen, i suggest piaa now if you are talking about hid lights, you need ballast and bulbs and also suggest having a relay to turn them on because the use a lot more power when they turn on but then level of to usually 35w... however with hids in reflector housing lights that were intended for halogen bulbs, they tend to create glare for other motorists... the sure way to not blind others with hids is a retrofit projectors in there... they make aftermarket projector lights for that type of accord, but the projectors are usually pretty crappy... but with those projector lights, you can always buy projectors from a car that had hids, and swap them with some modification to the mounting points for the projector to the rest of the headlight... fx35 projector would probably fit and because there was a recall, they are pretty cheap to get now... and from that you can us oem parts for ballast and bulbs from a hid equiped car
