Despite the crappy weather here in NY I've managed to install my 6000k Fogs today! As some of you might now, I've just upgraded to the 6000k low beams and now got the matching fogs to go with it. It helps quiet a bit with the driving when I turn on my fogs, and I am no longer ashamed to turn my fogs on to that fugly looking yellow halogens. I recommend this mod to all TL owners!

Now my question to those of you, who have the 6000k fogs, even though the color match is very nice to the low beams, I feel that the fogs are a little whiter than being the bluish tint that 6000k should have. My low beams have that bluish tint and Im using the same bulb in my fogs, any one else have this problem?

My other question is... is there a way to angle the fog bulbs upward so that I can get more light projecting further outward, making use of my HID Fogs?


Pictures will come soon!!

Oh by the way, I saw a guy checking my car out when it was parked in a Hewlett Parking Lot, sunday night, right by the Hewlett Train Station. Smoking a Cigarette and walked around the car once. I think he/you drives the same TL I do, same color except he/you has the OEM Spoiler. If your on this board... holla!!

 

I myself am really considering doing this upgrade... let us know when you have pics... I would love to see them.

 

Not a good idea to try to aim the fog lights up, this will cause excessive glare to the oncoming traffic and this is one of the reasons that it is illegal to put HID on the fog lights.
Many try to upgrade their headlights to HID without taking in consideration that the housing and optics of them are not desinged for HID. Also, fog lights are made for a wide diffusion of light, if you want reach you need driving lights.
Again the bluish tint of the low beam is created by the bulb and the optics of the head light housing vice the whiter one from the fog lights, there is nothing you can do about that.
Take some pictures and let us see. Day/night.

 

How long did it take u to install the 6000k bulbs into the fog light housing? Was it easY?

YES SIR!

I will put up pics this weekend, I heard its hard to capture the true color of the HID 6000k but, I'll do my best!

 

Would definitely love to see some pics

 

NYDesi80: Where did you end up mounting the ballasts fo rthe foglights? Where in NY are you? I'd like to see the fogs in person since i was thinkin of doing the upgrade also

 

Long Island Area, and I mounted the fogs right under my stock ballasts, velcro and some zip ties. Its secure enough. Follow the DIY instfuctons on the Inspired Acura site.

 

What is the brand of your 6000k lights? I got lights that claim to be a 7000k but they do not look that blue... but its still nice. It is not that hard to change the fog lamp... you might have to remove the entire fog lamp thingy though...

 

Hey Fred, you've never seen Sandeep's 6000k fogs?? We should have a 6000k fogs mini-meet. I'll be there with my halogens on!!

-Rich

 

Im down for the mini meet, but my ballasts and bulbs are phillips. Didnt wanna trust any other brand.

 

lol I would be there with the halogens too

 

Are we all serious about the mini meet??

 

Rich: I may have seen Sandeep's a while ago, but that was before I thought about doing it myself.

I'll show up for a little LI mini-meet. Before the weather gets colder.

 

Alright someone pick a time and a place, preferably weekends, cuz weekdays are out of the question.

 

WHOAA!! Mention the word "meet" and everyone comes out of the woodworks!!

How about we meet up on a Sat. Sunday's are no good for me! We can meet up either by Alley Pond Park in Bellerose (union tpke and winchester blvd) or in bayside by the whitestone bridge, near the bayside marina. Throw out some ideas and dates and I'll be happy to help arrange something!

-Rich

 

Saturday afternoon is a possiblity for me. By the whitestone bridge sounds good, what about towards the LI area on Sunday? Like lets say at Roosevelt Field Mall, but lets get a count of heads and see how many people are willing to do this.

 

Sunday's are no good for me. Roosevelt field sounds fine too!

You can count me in!!

 

this weekend is kinda bad for me. I have a hectic work schedule this weekend. Next Saturday is better for me, but its up to everyone else.

 

Next weekend out of the question for me. Maybe I can do next Sunday, not this comming Sunday but the following but not sure as of yet.

 

how much do they cost?? whould it fit on a 99TL?

 

hey yo what brand is dat u using for the 6000K HID Fogs and are u using 6000K Made by philips? aight son hit me back

 

Maybe he just didnt read this part

 

Hey sorry for the late post, but Im using Phillips in both, top and bottom and the ballasts are phillips too.

And Ian Biz, it would fit in a 99 TL but I believe you dont have fogs right?? Not sure.. but the low beams should be the same to my knowledge.

 

If you guys decide to have it closer to the whitestome bridge or even at alley pond park i will come...but i dont really wanna hike it out to roosevelt field.
