Happy to say my MDX finally arrived!
a month later than initially expected, glad that it is finally here!
Some have asked me to post pics when I did the HID install. So here are the details, probably more than most want to know,
I ordered the 9006 HID kit from hidkits.com, $499 for internet order and $549 for phone orders
Kit arrived within a couple of days of ordering. I noted that the HID bulbs were the Sylvania's and not the Phillips if it is important to anyone. I seem to recall that Hidkits.com uses both. You might be able to request one over the other if it matters to you.
The kit was billed as being "plug and play." Needing only to:
1. Unplug your halogen bulb
2. Plug cord into new HID ballast
3. Plug cord from ballast into HID bulb
4. Insert HID bulb
I really was hoping that the kit was as billed or I thought I might be in trouble. I had read horror stories of having to splice wires, check polarity, mess with the battery and drill holes to mount the ballasts into the firewall on kits from some vendors.
So the answer is yes, the kit was essentially "plug and play" as touted, only small snag I ran into was needing to cut off a small plastic nub with some utility scissors to make the plugs fit tight.
The ballasts sit well on shelf beneath the headlights, affixed with double sided foam tape.
