2g TL HIDs and fogs

Hey guys, brand new here. Just started some small mods on my 03 type S after owning it for 3 years. Headlight just whent out, so I was interested in getting some info about what bulbs to order. Also, my fog lens was cracked and I was wondering if any of you had custom cut lens covers that won't crack from rocks. Anyone selling headlight lenses?

order bulbs from DDMTuning. they're only $15 a pair, and they're lifetime.

for replacement fog light lense, i bought these lexan lenses from ebay. they fit perfect and will never crack.

IF you have moisture inside the headlight lens issues--
you need to reseal them
and install a full replacement hid kit with new ballast-ignitors-module and bulbs
can get it all for under 100 bucks!! example hidextra.com or the place mentioned above

bulb color: stock 4300K (kelvin scale) 5000k = more blue excellent choice!
see the many bulb threads for details

it's easy, but the cheap lexan lenses from your local hardware store won't hold up to extreme heat or rocks, debris, etc. that's why opted to get the stronger mr-10 lexan lenses.

idk wat kind of lexan glass i got.... but there's no browning and the tint i applied inside of it is still looking sexy.... i tried to figure out what kind it was, but failed. all i know is that i used a big sheet which was more than $10, rather than using the smaller cheaper ones

Some cars (of the 2g tl's)have reversed polarity on the passenger (maybe driver too) side connector.
If the blasts dont work on one side stick a multimeter in there and figure out the correct polarity.

In the future if someone stumbles upon this message me and ill help you out how to do this.
