Headlight Question....

Unfortunately my headlights were just stolen, there replacing them this week and I want them to replace them with brighter more powerful lights. Do they have any on the market more powerful & brighter? and will they look as good (not cloudy) as the regulars.

The insurance co. is going to pay but I have the car at my friend's auto repair shop and he can put the brighter ones in and just hide the charges.

If your insurance company is paying for your replacement H.I.D's, don't get aftermarket ones, they aren't as good as the stock H.I.D's. Instead, try getting the S2000 H.I.D's, they are the best and also the coolest looking H.I.D's around -- beats the Acura, Audi, and BMW H.I.D's.

I think it's about same bulb, but S2000 uses projector type H/L instead of deflector just like TL's. I think that's why those are look cool!

Not exactly, the TL bulbs have a more of a blue tint while the S2000 has the purple tint, like the BMW's. But yeah, songoku, the S2000 does project them. It'd be pretty dope if someone (Nate a.k.a Mod King) had projector H.I.D's for his TL.

I've seen Shyne's post and thought they were same.

I'm from Medford CarFreak but I was by my girl's place when it happened in the Bronx, be careful out there if anyone ever goes. I know a couple of people that got caught out there, they tried 2 catch me once but didnt finish the job, 2nd time around they were successful. You have 2 be Xtra careful when your away from home...
