i want to change my stock HID kit to a higher power one. i want to connect the fog light, high and low beam. i want my whole front end to be blue at night. i was told i don't need a new kit, just change all the bulbs. in that case wut bulb do i need? wuts the model numbers?

 

Well, if you have a CL, you dont have fog lights unless you installed them yourselves. Do a search on HIDs and you'll find that bulbs with higher Kelvin are actually dimmer, but more blue than the stock bulbs. They are just plug and play. The other lights you will have to change with a certain brand...do a search on it and you'll find the name...I forget what they are called.

 

Worst mod is changing power of HID's. --Provides less visible light and blinds other driver--Also those that mess with the HID's seem to have problems with fogging and leaks if they don't know what they're doing.
Why would you want to make your CL less safe by blinding other drivers and decreasing illumination? That's not an upgrade!!!!!!!!!

 

Ummm... first you can't change the power of an HID kit. They're set at 35W at 10,000V initial startup.

Second.... No one makes fog HID kits unless you custom fabricate one. Even if you did, it would throw the light in the wrong places defeating the purpose of "fog" lights.

Third... You can make a high beam HID but that defeats the purpose of a high beam "flash." HID require an initial arc-spark to ignite the mercury/xenon filled tube, which to say the least, is light years BEHIND the initial lighting of a halogen bulb. So when you find yourself trying to flash some driver in a safety situation at a split second decision, it won't work. Not only that, but "flashing" HIDs decrease the lifespan nearly in half.

Kelvin is the measure of temperature, not power. Increasing Kelvin decreases visible light, the "whitest" Kelvin is 42-4300K. Lower, you go more yellow, higher, more purple and eventually no visible light.

If you're talking about bulbs, just change the halogens bulbs all together. But like others have said, creating a filter on light decrease light output in all ways. Also, blue is not very weather friendly, if will reflect back at you like flashlight in your eye.

 

wrong....01-02 cl's came with fogs, 03's didnt.

 

Not really, they're driving lamps, not fogs. Fog lights contain H-series bulbs and throw light horizontally lower than 20 degrees from the front of the car towards the ground.

 

well i consider them fogs my bad then

 

I have thought about changing my bulbs also, my right headlight looks blue and the left one looks purple... WTF is the right one going out? Any suggestion?

 

i live in the city, i don't need brightness. i have a beater car to drive around in, just want to do it for the look.
