Is there a way to make the brights aka high beams and the foglights xenon, aka look like my low beams for a 2003 tl-s? Can you just buy the bulbs ? Or buy something for it?

nayaab88

Yes there is, you gotta buy the whole HID kit. Search next time.

you can buy hid kits for them.

kind of pointless for the high beams if you ask me though.

Cisko TLS

yeah you need to buy a whole hid kit.... highbeams are 9005... & your foglights are 9006 and on top of that u gonna need to buy different bulbs for you low beam to match the rest....

nayaab88

ya i wouldnt do high beams either, i rarely use mine.

CJITTY

never use xenon for high beams unless the car comes with the bi-xenon setup like the 3rd Gen...not worth it because xenons take up to 30 seconds to achieve maximum brightness...just use halogen.

Also, look at the 2nd Gen DIY on HID fog install..

Like everyone said, Do not hid on high beams it will drain your battery and it's really pointless. It will also reduce the lifetime of your hid kit. (not a good idea to flick off your hids too much which you kinda have to with high beams) If your getting high-beams for just the look of that blue/white color. get a set of bulbs that are tinted (would really recommend PIAA, nokya, and luminics)

^^^ In the 2G TL DIY Thread, the one that says HID Foglight Install takes you to the DIY Replace Wheel Stud or something like that... Can we get that fixed because I'm looking into HID Foglights...

I love hid fog lights but hid's on DRL/High=fail.

CJITTY

Not sure why that ain't fixed yet, but I added my HID Fog DIY link further down the line in that thread, here is the shortcut to my DIY for this https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-performance-parts-modifications-116/3000k-hid-foglight-install-pics-56k-think-again-602180/

Thanks!

Cisko TLS

i didnt take my bumper off to put my brand new fog lights or to hid

Cisko TLS

by the way.... DON'T listen to them go with HID on the highbeam as well lol... so when u do the bypass for the fog lights to turn them on alone u could keep ur highbeam on i got HID in my reverse lights with a switch...lol......

wow.. do you have pics?

The higher in xxxxK you go in HID lights the more blue they look right?

Why do people want yellow fogs? Reminds me of an old headlight...

CJITTY

^^yellow fogs work great in the rain and snow..when you see yellow HIDs in action, you may have a different opinion...i thought the same way. I personally love the contrasting color they give off from the headlights. With HID fogs, you should aim them lower because of a little glare, but from far away there is a distinct yellow glow on the road but appear to be white in color just looking at the lens while the lights are on ...i love it

the best thing about 3k fogs is that they produce the most amount of light.
the lower in kelvin rating you go, the more light you produce.

this is why gimmicks like 30,000k hids are practically useless.

JDM Inspired

Shout outs to you bro, HID in the reverse lights FTW!!!!!!

JDM Inspired

I must say I agree........

thats the truth anything above 8k looks nice from outside the vehicle but has almost no light output from inside the vehicle.

Is there even a point to having HID's there?

Phrosttz0

rodneyc77 did this like 2 years ago on the 3g side, hid's in reverse

spoka

iTrader: (6)

has anyone here ever experienced a headlight going out and having there highbeams come on but with a low light output to compensate?

Cisko TLS

FAIL because he did them back in March when I went to a Evening TSV meet! He told us he was showin' it to us there

To the other guy there is a point tailgate me you might see why is good to have them there

Phrosttz0

yeah i know, i use to roll with them, okay so 8 months ago or whatever, i was saying its been done b4

Cisko TLS

Damn...those are some expensive reverse lights.

Looks good though.

Cisko TLS

why expensive?

nf3d0149ab

iTrader: (5)

^ For the HID Kit, wire and bulbs...how much did you end of paying for those HID reverse lights?

A couple hundred at least...right?

Cisko TLS

I PAID $99 for the kit... and wires are cheap relay 10 bucks...and the power cable and remote cable was like 15 bucks for both...

Would an Acura dealership sell these HID kits?

TLTypeSilver

I doubt it..maybe some dealerships. Even if they did, it would cost a lot.

xTheWarrior

iTrader: (1)

well when i do get one i hope they easy to install cuz idk shit about it. HId kit how big is it? where does it go?

TLTypeSilver

Do a search and you'll find out a lot of info on the HIDs..like how to install them and stuff....plus theyre plug n play.
