generic HID lights
i see alot on ebay for like $12-$50
im sorry, id hate to do it, but i just got the car and i cant afford brand name parts.
you think they are just as good but dont last long? i mean if they are the same kelvin temp. then they are gonna have the same output. (brightness)

yeah dude, 99% of the "HID" lights on ebay are just regular light bulbs with a blue coating. they'll say "like HID", "HID effect" or something along those lines. go online and check out what a real HID bulb looks like so you'll have a good idea when you see the pictures in the auctions.

KAIXEN is another option. I have had good experiences with their product and have made them my only HID product:

Yep- your bulbs are probly faded and need replacement. I got a set of 6500k's and they are a nice crisp purple/white color (a la the last gen s class HID's)

Yea man. Your new to the board and to your car im guessing so before you go around sayin all this shit that ur TL doesnt come with HID's and the FAKE ASS WANA BE HIDs are the same thing, KNOW YOUR SHIT FIRST BEFORE YOU SAY ALL THAT. You don't know nuthin right now from what all of us expierienced members can see. Relax, im not tryin to degrade you or talk bad to you, im just saying in general. You have alot of learning to do my friend. Better start reading some older threads on the forum. Lots to learn for ya. If you have any questions about anything or need help, just send me a private message. I'll respond quickly.
