If your car is still under warranty, you might want to take it to the dealer and see if they can replace it. If not, there is a few options, you can buy the stock hids, bulb type - D2Rs. Or just go for the 6000k upgrade from phillips or Osram.

Here's your chance or excuse to get the Philips or Osram 6000K.

Well, if you car is still under warranty, I would get the stock bulbs in. Then take them out and put some 6000k's in and sell the stock bulbs on ebay.

I have a 99 TL and am wondering what the bulb type is. I know the bulbs I should use are D2Rs, I used to have a set of D2S on my integra type R, but I'm wondering what the base is?

Anyone know? H1? H4? 9004? 9007? Thanks.

The integra uses 9006s for their low beams.

Sorry let me rephrase. I used to have an integra with a 9006 base, D2S bulb kit.

I'm asking what the base of the bulb would be fore the 99 TL!

Sorry for the confusion.

D2S bulbs are meant for the projector type housings. All DC2 (94-01) had a 9006 low beam unit.

Ali,
Man that car is giving you lots of troubles. If you are still just planning on selling the car I would run a search on 600k that will bring up all those that have upgraded and I'm sure someone would be willing to sell you one of the 4300k bulbs they took out cheaper than getting a new one.

good luck with fixing that and getting that car sold

just the 6000K bulbs...youre car is already equipped with the rest.

but if you want to go higher than 6000K, which is unnecessary, then you will need a whole new HID kit.
