Anyone knows the type of bulb used in the headlights? I'd be interested in a whiter/brighter upgrade.

Let us know how those work also. Hondasxs has me worried since I haven't actually been in the dark yet with mine.

Stock headlights are fine to get around, even in full darkness. It's also fun to scare your passengers when turning off the headlights at full speed in the dark (tsk tsk tsk...).

I am wondering if Honda plans to offer a H/L beam kit?
I've already offended some neighborhood peeps driving at night. Got the light flick from them...
