Yes, I am using the 19605's which are the 9005 replacement. 19605 is just PIAA's product number.

If it looks like the OEM bulbs then it should fit in there no problem. I've heard that there are screws in there to adjust the bulb fitment as well. I didn't have to do it but some ppl on this board used it to fit aftermarket bulbs.

Im sure the Piaa super whites fit in there, it's basically the same bulb as mine....

Try loosening the 3 screws on the back of the fixture and you should be able to install the new bulbs. Make sure you tighten them back down after the bulbs are installed.

This is the reply back from PIAA regarding our highbeams: "The high beams are 9005 so the PIAA number would be PA19605." Therefore the 19605 should have fit the TL. Did you do it right? Let me know because I was planning to purchase them soon.

 

Aw sh!t Josh, do I need to do everything for you???

Bring the car over to the Jersey side and I'll fix it up nice and pretty for you.

The thing is, since the PIAA's didn't fit I had to put the stock bulbs back in and they fit fine, of course. So I know how to put the bulbs in, but I still can't understand why the PIAA's don't fit...

I am a bit confused...can someone definitely say that the PIAA 19605 bulbs will fit in a 2000TL?? I really want to get these, but I wanna know that someone has them in their 2000TL without any problems. Is there a difference in the High beams between 99 and 00TL??

Thanks!!!
