Xenon Fogs

Anyone have links as to where I can get some Xenon fog lights. I saw an Aegean Blue TLS in my neighborhood with them and decided that it needs to be bought. I can't seem to find them anywhere. Any helpful hints....

What year TL do you have? Are you trying to upgrade your 02-03 9006 fogs or going to put HID fogs on 99-01 TL's??

There are lots of website that carrys 9006 HID kits. You might want to get 6000K bulbs for better light output color.

Autolamp on-line 9006 Kit ->499 6000K 9006 kit -> 580
HID4LESS 9006 kit -> 550

If you want for 460 (shipped to your door), e-mail me. I'll hook ya up.

from all the testimony of 6000K's, it'll make your stock HID's look yellow. but for 500 bucks? not too sure if its worth it, just for 2 bulbs?

right after i put up that post, i went over to autolamp online and i just couldn't believe the prices. the pix on their site show stock HIDs compared to 6000K but the stock ones are showing as yellow?!!? they weren't using TLs for the comparison, but i can tell u my stock HIDs aren't yellow. i don't think i wanna pay like $800 (convert to Cdn $) for slightly brighter lights than what i have now. but i still would like to see 2 TLs side by side as the comparison...anyone got pix?

well i have seen people saying this, but i have to say it again, you won't believe it until you see it in person. imho even pics can't show it all.

and believe it or not, autolamps.com is showing the REAL stuff. i thought my stock hid was pretty white too, but after i put in one 6000k hid on one side, i immediately said to myself, "damn the stock one is yellow"

now i have 6000k hid low beam, and i just purchased a 6000k 9006 hid conversion kit (philips) for 480 bucks. i would never regret.

it's hard for people who haven't seen it to believe it, but like i said, our stock hids ARE yellow compared to the 6000k

Xenon fogs

You might want to check out midnightmoose.com. My buddy told me they offer 8000K bulbs available in 9004,9005,9006,9007,H1,H3 and H7 kits for $485. Delivery only takes 2 days or so and comes with a 1 year warranty. All of my friends were getting them from there for under $400 but I guess they were having lots of problems with them so they are using a different vendor now. He said the new ones are far superior. I guess Hella makes the ballasts for Phillips now and I think they come with Phillips bulbs also. My friend wants to order them to see how much of a difference there is between them and his other ones. I'll let you know if he or anyone else gets them. He wasn't sure but he thinks that they're offering 10% off.

Any bulbs you see advertised higher then 6000K and is claimed to be Phillips is BULLSH!T!!!!!

They "may" be 6000K Phillips or even their 4300K with painted glass like the cheap halogens bulbs but Phillips themselves do not offer anything higher then 6000K, period. And they don't use a tinted glass to achieve the claimed K's.

Besides, higher then 6000K, your going for some color and less light output.....whats the point? You want a deep blue or purple bulb like I see so many cars drive around with(IMO, a cheap ugly hue which is nothing like Phillips 6000K's(which like many have said including myself could not believe when we first saw it), go get yourself some K2 or other Korean HID kits but I sure wouldn't recommend them.

Those midnightmoose. com lights indeed specify the ballasts are made in Germany and they do look like genuine Phillips ballasts but who makes the bulbs? K2 makes the bulbs and package that kit, I wouldn't buy them. It seams allot of companies in Taiwan and Korea who manufacture bulbs joined in on the bandwagon and make they're own "HID" bulbs.....I'll pass. Some even manufacture the ballasts, no thanks.

Notice how all HID kits out there mention whats made in Germany (usually the Ballast) but never mention where the bulbs or even where anything is made depending on the kit. Why not? You tell me.

They know allot of folks are catching up on the info and that the German products are superior.

Buyer beware guys. On the long run, a cheaper "kit" will not be cheaper IMO.

Just my $0.02.

Damn, I'm just venting from my frustrations at work into my understanding of HID's. Forgive the angry man for speaking his mind:p.
