HID on TL

Well, I'm looking for new HID's on my BMW, and just for comparison purposes, I wanted to compare them to our TL's. But then I realized I have no clue what the '02-03 TL uses. What are they - 5000k? 6000k?
Thanks, D

Wow, I just saw a TSX tonight with its headlights on and the color of the HIDs were amazing. It was of a light bluish color and very bright which totally stands out from the crowd. I wish my 2003 TL HIDs looked like that, but I don't have money to spend on 6000K now and isn't 6000K illegal? Does the TSX have projectors or something?

Yes, I think the TSX does have projectors (as well as the 04 TL). The 6k aren't "illegal". It is just illegal for people to sell HID kits for cars that haven't originally got HID, because if you put HID's on any car without projectors, (unless the manufacturer did) it causes too much glare.
