what if i put a 10000k bulb to replacee the stock hid bulb. will it work or no?

 

It'll work but you won't be able to see fuck all with them in.

 

yeah definitely....it'll be brighter if you stand by the headlights with candles....go with 8000k.....that's very blue though, it sounds like you like the purple look.

 

so lyke with 10000k bulbz i wont need to get the whole kit ryte? just the bulb because my shit is already an HID system? AND ALSO WHAT MODEL BULBS?

 

you'll need a D2R bulb......just the bulbs.

 

oh wait...STOP....you've got an 01....that might need a D2S bulb....not sure....someone confirm

 

so therez no point in me gettint he whole kit ryte?

 

no, you do NOT need the whole kit... all you need is the bulb. the bulb is D2R for all '99-'03 TL's.

 

The D2S bulbs are for projector head lights. They do not apply to the 2nd gen TL.

 

eventhough they are made for projector headlights... you can still use them (D2S) in the TL. a little modification to the bulb is all it takes.

 

true, but the light goes all over the place with these two hot spots in the middle because D2S don't have that shield over the bulb....... just my

 

right BUT Y do you want them. at 10,000 you will NOT have brighter headlights. as teh K goes up the useable light goes down. meaning they wont be as bright as teh factory ones

 

originality homie

 

can you explain

and thz for ery1's input

 

D2R (stock bulbs) have this metal shield on the top of each bulb to protect other incoming drivers from glare and also putting most of the light output in front of you with this cutoff line... but when you install modified D2S (which is meant for projectors type headlights) then you won't have that shield and therefore light goes all over the place, not to mention there goes the cutoff line..

 

not really... theres tons of cars out there with 10000k hid's. mostly civics and escalades.

 

tlz?

 

very few... if any. but theres a reson for that....

 

originality with not being able to see well at night??

 

And why would you want purple lights? Thats a little :ghey: if you ask me. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

If you're going to pimp out your lights, 8000k is a much nicer color IMO.

 

first of all ....10,000k is not :ghey:.....it's :ultraghey: (ultragay)....

i think 8000k is pushing the light output limit....any more and you'll be lighting candles....

 

but i see sum tht look fuckin like indiglo blue n shit

 

and although they may look "cool" they suck donkey balls. they dont light up the road very well and can be annoying to oncoming drivers.

 

8000k or 10000k n the main difference

 

if you want some other bulb than stock, go with 8000k....it's as high as you should go K wise.....if you go higher than 8000k, you better look for candles for sale at a dollar store or something to mount on your bumper.....


okay, i know how to solve this....

THIS IS 8000k....IS THAT BLUE ENOUGH FER YA??

 

shit that picture is blinding

 

10000k in 01 TL, what u gotta remember is that the 99-01 TL has the cover over the light and because of that you do not get a true purple color with 10000k, its more of an indigo, as for the 2002-2003 tls i dont know

 

hansgovel.. how much were the bulbs that you have? and what brand are you using?

 

because of the cover i wanna go wit the 10000k cuz itz not actually purple any1 got pix of 8000k on an 01?

 

You do realize that the police could give you a ticket for those?

To me, there is nothing original about blinding drivers, causing a nuisance and a safety hazard with them.

 

lolz, oh well and what can a cop charge you on, is 10000k illegal or sumthin?

 

In some places, yes.

In addition, it could be considered a danger to others on the road.

 

depends, rear white blinkers are about 30 here in jersey.. im not too sure about the front lights being too bright.. but im pretty sure its more than the blinkers.

 

most bulbs are illegal unless its got that approved sticker on it. oyeah and some what states its legal and some that are not. just check the blub cover before you buy it

 

FYI...ANY bulb 6000k and up is illegal ANYWHERE in the states.

 

Good to know

Backs up my whole point about this.

 

And it's not brighter, it's a darker blue. Blue lights are illegal to use on any car besides emergency vehicles.

 

yes
OEM with 4100k is brigher than 6000K

6000k only gives a more blueish color in light, but doesn't get any brighter, somebody did the test on this b4

also 6000k will increase the chance of getting stop by police on the streets, i don't want to draw the attention.

 

Hey guys, I wanna buy the blue 8000k Lights for my 99. Are the lights at http://www.hidexpress.com are they good?

 

there are plenty of places to get them in TO

no need to buy online~

it's way more convinient to buy in local if they have them for similar price, i don't even mind to pay a little more if it's within 5-10%
