If your 2015 Accord’s factory halogen bulbs have dimmed below legal visibility, this AUTOONE combo pack delivers a massive 80,000 total lumens from a pair of 9005 high-beam and 9006 low-beam bulbs. The CSP chips produce a 6000K cool white that closely mimics natural daylight, and the built-in intelligent IC driver prevents the flickering and error codes common when swapping to LEDs on a CANBus-based vehicle. The fanless design eliminates the audible whine that cheaper LED bulbs emit, which is especially noticeable when the engine is off and the lights remain on.

Installation is genuinely plug-and-play for the Accord’s 9005 and 9006 sockets — no polarity issues, no need to file down retention tabs. The aluminum aviation-grade body with copper heat-pipe base keeps junction temperatures below 85°C even during extended night drives, which is directly responsible for the 60,000-hour rated lifespan. Owners report that the beam pattern closely replicates the factory halogen scatter, so you won’t blind oncoming traffic as long as you re-aim the housings after installation.

The real-world tradeoff is that the crisp cutoff makes the low beam appear “short” to drivers used to old hazy halogens that scattered light everywhere. On dark country roads the high beams provide significantly better forward reach, but in city driving you may get flashed by drivers who mistake the bright white color for high beams. The solution is to physically lower the beam adjustment by a few degrees using the built-in screw adjuster on the 2013-2015 Accord headlight housing.

The LSAILON headlight pair is a full housing replacement — not just a bulb swap — making it the right choice when your factory lens is heavily UV-cracked, moisture has corroded the internal reflector, or you simply want the blacked-out housing look. These assemblies include built-in LED daytime running lights and brake light functionality, which means you can delete the separate DRL module if your Accord is equipped with the factory DRL system. The housings are DOT and SAE certified, guaranteeing the beam pattern meets federal cutoff standards.

Construction uses thick ABS plastic with a polycarbonate lens that has been tested in temperature and humidity chambers. The manufacturer claims compliance with fog and dirt ingress tests, which addresses the most common complaint about aftermarket headlights: condensation forming inside the lens after rain. The plug-and-play design uses the factory 9005/9006 bulb sockets (bulbs not included), so you can pair it with the AUTOONE LED kit from product #1 for maximum output. The black housing with amber reflector gives the Accord a more aggressive front profile compared to the chrome factory unit.

The primary installation challenge is that the front bumper must be partially removed to access the lower mounting bolts — a process that takes about 30 minutes with a 10mm socket and a trim removal tool. The assembly weighs 8.17 kg (18 lbs) per pair, which is significantly heavier than the factory units due to the additional LED heat sinks. Ensure the bumper clips are in good condition before attempting removal; the 2013 Accord plastic clips are known to become brittle with age and snap easily.

A cracked outer tail light is a common issue on the 2013-2015 Accord — the polycarbonate lens develops hairline fractures from thermal cycling, allowing moisture to corrode the bulb sockets and reflector. The TRQ assembly is a direct replacement for the driver-side outer unit, matching the OEM part number 33550T2AA01 (also listed as HO2804101). Unlike universal-fit tail lights, this piece bolts directly to the same three studs and uses the factory wiring harness without any slicing or soldering.

The housing is made from polycarbonate with a clear lens and includes a pre-installed halogen bulb. The reflector bowl is engineered with the same focal point as the OEM unit, so the brake light intensity and beam spread remain consistent with the passenger side. TRQ provides a 2-year warranty and publishes detailed DIY installation videos on their YouTube channel, which is helpful because the inner trim panel in the trunk must be partially removed to access the wing nuts holding the assembly in place.

Some owners report that the rubber gasket is slightly thicker than the factory piece, which can make the first 1-2 mm of the mounting studs difficult to thread the nut onto. Applying a thin layer of silicone grease to the gasket before installation helps it seat properly and prevents water from seeping into the trunk. The bulb that ships with the unit is a standard halogen — if you upgrade to an LED bulb later, you will need to add a load resistor to prevent the hyper-flash symptom that the 2015 Accord’s BCM triggers when it detects lower resistance.

When the factory headlight housing has become brittle from sun exposure or the lens is beyond polishing, the ECCPP pair provides a full replacement that closely mimics the original chrome-and-clear aesthetic. The housing is injection-molded from OEM-grade ABS plastic, which has a higher impact tolerance than recycled ABS alternatives. The sealed construction is tested to prevent moisture ingress, addressing one of the primary failure modes of the 2013-2015 Accord’s headlight assemblies — water pooling in the bottom of the housing and corroding the bulb socket terminals.

The beam type is reflector-based, matching the factory spec, and the lens includes the amber side reflector integrated into the housing. This is important for legal compliance in states that require side visibility of the low beam. The assembly accepts 9005 high-beam and 9006 low-beam bulbs (not included), so you can choose your preferred bulb technology. Owners who paired this housing with LED bulbs report that the reflector scattering pattern is slightly more diffuse than a projector setup, but the overall brightness is significantly improved over the factory halogen.

Installation requires the same bumper removal procedure as the LSAILON unit, but the ECCPP housing is slightly lighter at approximately 8 kg per pair. The mounting tabs align correctly with the steel core support on the 2013 Accord, though the upper tab may require gentle pressure to seat fully. A small number of owners note that the clear coat on the lens can begin peeling after 6-12 months in direct sun — applying a UV-protective film or ceramic coating to the lens immediately after installation can extend the optical clarity significantly.

The VLAND tail light set is the most dramatic visual upgrade you can make to the rear of a 9th-generation Accord. It replaces the entire factory tail light assembly (inner and outer units on both sides) with a full-LED setup that features an amber sequential turn signal. The turn signal sweeps from the inner light outward in the direction of the intended turn — a styling cue taken from Audi and Ford Mustang designs. The running light and brake light are bright red LEDs, while the reverse light is a cool white LED.

Fitment is specific to the 2013-2015 Accord Sedan — it will not fit the Coupe, Sport, or EX-L trims without modifications. The assemblies connect to the factory harness using the same OEM connectors (33500-T2A-A11, 33550-T2A-A11), but the VLAND units include an additional adapter plug that requires you to insert the new connections into the existing bulb-connector housings rather than replacing them entirely. This nuance is not clearly explained in the printed instructions and has caused some buyers to mistakenly believe the lights are incompatible when they simply needed to follow a different connection sequence.

The sequential function requires the vehicle to have the standard bulb-type tail light wiring. If your Accord is equipped with factory LED tail lights (rare on the 2013-2015 sedan), the VLAND units may be incompatible without rewiring. For the standard halogen-tail-light cars, the installation is plug-and-play after you file down two small alignment tabs on the tail light plug receptacles to allow the VLAND connectors to seat fully. The housing is ABS plastic with a polycarbonate lens, and the total draw at 35 watts is significantly lower than the factory halogen setup, reducing load on the BCM.

If your 2013-2015 Accord was originally equipped with fog light cutouts but no actual fog lights (common on LX and Sport trims), the Shocklight pair fills that gap with a complete kit. The set includes the two fog light housings, wiring harnesses, and a switch — everything needed to add functional fog lights to a car that never had them. The lens is polycarbonate with a clear lens and halogen bulb, producing a wide, flat beam pattern that illuminates the road edges without reflecting glare back at the driver in fog or rain.

Installation requires removing the lower bumper grille panel, which is held in by 10 push-clips and two 8mm bolts. The housings bolt directly into the factory mounting points using the pre-installed brackets, and the wiring harness routes through the engine bay to the included switch. For models that already have a fog light switch on the turn signal stalk, you can wire the lights into the factory relay using the signal wire at the under-hood fuse box. The halogen bulbs produce approximately 1,000 lumens each, which is adequate for adverse weather illumination but not for primary driving.

The main quality concern is the lens adhesion. Several owners report that the clear lens separates from the housing after 6-12 months, allowing moisture to enter the reflector bowl. Applying a bead of clear RTV silicone around the seam between the lens and the housing during initial installation dramatically improves the longevity. The included switch has a built-in LED indicator, but it is designed for aftermarket placement (drilling a hole in the lower dash panel or using a blank switch location) which may not look factory-clean on the 2013 Accord’s interior.

This Auto Dynasty headlight pair is the entry-level solution for the 2008-2012 Accord sedan, not the 2013-2015 model. However, it remains listed here as a reminder that the 8th-gen and 9th-gen Accords use completely different headlight shapes, mounting points, and connector pinouts. The chrome housing with amber corner reflector retains the factory look, and the halogen reflector beam pattern is identical to the OEM unit. The housing is polycarbonate with a clear lens, and the assembly includes the turn signal socket (7528 bulb type).

The product is designed for the 2008-2012 4-door sedan and uses a 9005 high-beam/9006 low-beam bulb configuration. The plug-and-play installation requires removal of the front bumper, which uses the same push-clip and 10mm bolt pattern as the 2013 model. The inner fender liners must be partially pulled back to access the lower housing bolts — the process takes approximately 45 minutes for a first-time installer. No drilling or cutting is required because the housing uses the same three-stud mounting pattern as the factory unit.

The known longevity issue is that the clear lens film begins to peel after 12-18 months of outdoor parking, particularly on the side that faces direct afternoon sun. The internal reflector bowl is chrome-plated plastic, which can discolor over time if a high-heat halogen bulb is used near the maximum wattage rating. Sticking to standard 55W halogen bulbs (rather than 100W “off-road” bulbs) significantly extends the reflector life. The amber corner light uses a separate socket that can be upgraded to an LED 7528 bulb for a cleaner white-and-amber appearance.
