ok.. i did the search on HID..
got some infos.. but still confuse..

there are 4200, 6000, and even 8000
4200 is stock.. most ppl go 6000, some got 8000
do i really need the 8000?
it is bluerrr.. but isn't brighter as 6000 right?
is there pictures for 6000 and 8000?

ok.. let's say i settle with 6000
D2R or D2S? for 03 TLs..
and do i need to change the ballasts to make it look more true color? forexample more blue or more purole? or i can use my stock ballast without any problem..?

finally.. philips or osram(sylvania)?

sorry.. i'm noob for this lightting stuff..

 

if you get the 6000K, you dont need to get new ballasts cause the Acura ones can handle them. if you go any higher, you'll lose too much light output and might not see **** on the road at nite. 6000K is a nice compromise between light output and color of the light. get the D2R ( i think those are for our cars). i would go with phillips.

 

D2R's are for Reflector type housings
D2S's are for Projector type Housings

 

If you get D2R, it's direct swap, but if you get D2S, you need to do some modification.

 

wow.. thanks for the help guys..

so is this D2S have more light than D2R?
i did notice on the road.. those bmw and audi have a very bright HID than our headlight.. if so.. hell, i'm gonna drill a hole on the D2S for me tl too..

so everybody perfer philips.. anybody use osram 6000? pic pic?

 

I don't think you can be able to tell the huge difference between D2R & D2S. If you do, it's not going to be alot. The projector lens make the light so purplish & bluer on BMW, AUDI, & S2000.

 

I never did understand this. If the D2R is a direct replacement for us, why do some people go with the D2S? There must be a reason?

 

Smelly, more blue glare and nothing else.

 

one last question..

any websites or ppl to buy these HID?

 

D2R bulbs have optical shielding around the lens but D2S don't. Because of that, D2S might give you more light out put.

D2R


D2S

 

Ahh NICE!
thanks so much songoku..!
yes.. i'll order D2S now..

 

so do u mean the DS2 is more of the blueish color

 

yea i cant make up my mind if i wanna go with d2r or d2s, does anyone have a pic or two of the same car having a d2r on one side and d2s on the other (that would make me decide for sure )

or at least two cars next to each other

p.s. preferably a pic of a 99TL !!

 

you can get them at http://www.motionr.com

 

Remember, it's $145 each, so that's 290 total.

I can hook you up with $230 a set including shipping for Philips 6000K bulbs.

 

I would just say D2R, makes your life easier. That is what made my decision.

 

I'd like to see a pic like this too.
