Im back

Finally after my car got totaled a few months back i got another TL. Had the 99 and just got a 2000. I also have a question on HID's. I want that real bright look where u can notice my headlights like a mile away and itll stand out in a crowd how do the HID's work i heard the higher the number the less bright it is? If anyone can inform me on how that works it would be greatly appreciated.

The temperature is measured by Kelvin. The light output is measured by lumens.

Stock is 4300K. As you go higher, the light color will turn bluer/whiter. Approaching 10,000K, it will start turning purple.

The higher you go, however, the lower the actual light output. Sure, it may look cool, but that will light up the road less, and it will only attract the attention of Johnny Law.

Welcome back and congratulations on the second TL.
