hey guys,

How long do the OEM HIDs last for? My OEMs seems to be getting dimmer than when i first got the car. Has anyone experienced the same problem??
Or maybe they just seem dimmer to me b/c i've gotten used to the brightness?

Maybe I should consider getting the 6000k HID bulbs. :p

...will make the stock hids look like halogens.

is it 3000 or 30,000 hours?

Well I drive with mine on day & night since the U.S. made TL dose not come with standard DRLs. I have done this for the last 3yrs since day one of getting my 2000TL. I only have slightly over 32,000 miles now. The lights still remain bright as always.

The TL-S was my first car with HID's. The evening after I picked up the car, I went for a cruise and the HID's reflected blue off of all the snow. I almost came in my pants.

3,000 hours is 125 days. That's it??

are the bulbs covered under warrenty?????

they say they last the average life of a car, whatever that is? i have around 109,000 miles on mine and there on almost all the time. just as bright as the day i got the car. need new lense covers though from all the pitting and sandblasted look

this is me

i hope mine go out soon so i can be excused for getting the 6000k.

No holding your breath-they are supposed to last for 10-12 years of normal use. Remember, there is no filament to burn out.

They can go out....just not that often though. Pretty damn expensive to replace to. Well, compared to costs for halogen bulb replacement.

this is me

:wow: now i have to do the job myself then.
