When I look at the foglights there is a black ring around the halogen bulb and the headlights have a reflector so the xenon reflects back towards the reflector. When you remove the old halogen bulb and install the new xenon bulb instead do you try to modify the fogs buy removing the black ring? I think the premise is a little different when you compare the both. I think when you see the xenon light what you are seeing is reflected light. When you see the halogen light you are seeing both the bulb light and reflected light.

What did you do?

Also, did you hook up relays or just plugged into the old outputs for you halogen bulbs?

Does it seem that oncoming traffic is blinded?

 

ANSWER: NO you don't have to move anything in the light house except old halogen light bulb. it is like plug and play. take out the halogen and plug in the xenon light bulb. that's all!

ANSWER: just look at the pic that I attached and you don't need anything except the xenon light bulb and the ballast. you insert the xenon light bulb, connect the wires to ballast and from ballast there is 2 wires(black and red) that sticks out and that goes into the old outputs for you halogen.

Previous pictures from this topic has a good picture where it shows that has nice cut line light output. in other word it will not blind oncoming traffic. there's NO GLARE from the fog light!

 

How much did it cost you?

 

if anyone is interested i can get the philips 4500'k true HID brand new for 450.00 this will perfectly match anyones stock HID low beam, and is street legal, the philips is straight plug and play just like the 6000k ones but just arent the 6000k bulbs, if anyone is interested email me at jlerd@hotmail.com

lates guys

 

I was wondering from your pics if you took the red and black wire leads from the ballest and connected then directly to the stock wires that powered the 9006 bulbs that used to be in your TLS. How dod you wire that part?

 

its nice to see you guys catching up finally...

 

NighthawkBlack: yes you are correct on that. take the red and black wire from Ballast and connect directly to the stock wires. that's all!!! very easy!

 

I have a question for all of you. Please do answer...

The cost for HID kits (500-600US), how much profit are the sellers making?

In Canada, I can get Philips HID 6000k from 3 different shops for 500cdn = 330US.

I rather shocked, though that the HID kits (2 ballasts, 2 HID bulbs) costs so much. Anyone agree? I just can't justify having the HID prices fall another 50% while I or someone else buys a set in the US or Canada.

 

Where in Canada can you get HIDs for that price? Can you send me some info?

Thanks,

InspireS

 

So those wiring harnesses with fuse and relay can be substittuted with stock ones? The reason I sak is that I have a stock OEM add on wiring setup from the Honda Inspire and their H1 Fogs and was thinking about doing this conversion even though the H1 Phillips kit costs almost $200 more than the 9006 TLS setup. So you haven't had problembs and they start up and warm like normal using the OEM Acura wiring?

 

By the way your ballasts are made by Hella? The pictures on Autolamps. com show Phillips Ballasts.

 

WHAT???!!!

that's great price!
$330!!!!
damn it!
what's going on here?
for a set of philips Ultinon 6000k, the lowest price that I know in US is $525.
hey Canadian man hook us up!

 

yeap, it works just like that! I was afraid it might not work but I took a chance. whew... when that thing light up, I was happy! anyway, yeah my ballast is made by Hella and I didn't get that set from Autolamps. By the time I purchase the set they were selling Philips 6000K set for $800!!! So I order the set from HID4less for $600 and that was 2 month ago. And now the price has been dropped to.... $575. dang it! oh well.... I'm still happy though... when the both main beam and the fog lights on... IT IS BRIGHT! (e.g. reflection from front car bumper)

Anyway, the both Hella and philips ballast are made from Germany. i think both of them are pretty good. It doesn't matter what kind of ballast you get. the only matter is the light bulb. get the philips made only!

 

I agree it doesn't matter. I was just confused with your pic and the one on autolamps. com because of the wiring. Thanks for the info.

 

SOOO how much for just the ballast ? I really would like to use my stock HID bulbs for the fogs.

 

I dont think you can use the regular bulbs form your low beams beacuse of the base of the bulb. These kits have the Phillips bulbs mounted on new bases that coincide with 9006 or H1 in my case.

Look at the site autolamps from the first page post

 

Okay, I'll try my best to give the best possible info .


1. Speedtech - contact Sherman and ask for the TAC pricing. it's $525 cdn I believe these are made by Philips. ph# (416) 293-6887

Okay...I just bought a new 2002 TLS w/Navi yesterday and I'm geeked about adding some better fog lights. (Actually, there's a lot of things I want to do) I'm interested in the 6000k, but is that too much? Should I look at Asiankidd's 4500k that he's selling to better match my factory lowbeams? Need some help with this.

I'm new to the ACURA TL-S world, and this is my first post. So give me a break.
