Here is an article showing that dark colored cars and silver cars are much less conspicuous on the roadways, and are therefore much more likely to be involved in a multi-vehicle collision.
Dr. Stuart Newstead of the Monash University Accident Research Centre of Australia is in the process of releasing a recent Vehicle Colour Study which shows silver cars have been found to be 10 per cent more likely to be involved in an accident than white cars. The study goes on to mention that black cars are 12 per cent more likely to be involved in an accident than white cars.
Dr. Stuart is quoted in the article as saying "People need to think about making their silver cars more visible by installing daytime running lights, or driving with their headlights on."

Import cars with negative polarity headlight systems will need our $9 GSS adapter kit (GSS stands for Ground-Side Switched). To see if your car has negative polarity headlights, below are some sources where you can check on your car:

PS. If you have a Honda newer that 1996 models, then your headlights are probably negative polarity.
