Your stock bulbs should last more than the life of the car. You can upgrade the bulbs to 6000k. It won't output anymore than your stock bulbs, but it looks a lot blue/purple.

he just bought xenons?

whats that mean..

if his Mercedes is recent, than it comes with xenons..

Anyways your 99 already has Xenons, the only upgrade is 6000k, the light output is less but the color looks nicer.. Unless you want to do a NEW MOD or something Like that guy who got Q45 or GS300 Lights

Can anyone confirm this? how long do HID bulbs last..

I bought my 00 TL a month ago, and my lights a blueish/purple. Does that mean they were replaced with the 6k ? how can u tell?

HID should last at the least 10,000 hrs, but it all depeds on the type of HID (bulb life usually rate from 6,000 hrs to 20,000 hrs. While it may not be extreme as TypeSDragon said.....they do last a while and way longer then halogens which are rated around 1200 hrs.

I just bought a 2000 tl and it's awesome like new but I need fog lights...

How much do they cost on avg and can I get them to match the headlights perfectly?

I think I need a Honda kit....?

Then I'll hook them up to come on when the parking lights come on. Cool:wow:

2000TL does not have fog lights and Honda does not offering any. The only thing you can do is get after market fog lights or custom fog lights just like my car.

It says in your description that you have a Honda OEM Foglight kit?

How much is that on average? And then could I get them to match the OEM HID's on the Acura?

What brand would match the Headlights?
