I know our car come with hids stock but mine are going demm plus i want more of a crystal blue or lavender look. Now do i go and get a whole new hid kit installed or do i buy bulbs??? If so what bulbs


i dont think the last owner ever changed them he brought the car new off the lot in 00. Im the second owner

i think you just need the bulbs. Our car comes with the converter already. maybe some 6000k or 8000k would be the crystal blue. i have 8000k and for purple not really sure but maybe 4000k or something

weirdxpsycho

i think 4300k would be lavender

okkkk do you no what brand is best and has the best look ??

Why a crystal blue or lavender look?? Neither will help you see better. Stick with the Stock 4300k to 5k.

Wells IMO, i like how it makes the whole highway blue makes things less boring haha iunno i like it.

and silvernight xenon are a petty good brand but you should probably search it

So you would rather it "look cool" than be functional? Im sorry, but blue lights dont look cool and dont do any thing for visibility. I dont know why so many think blue lights look cool rather than having the brightest possible light. I love how the TSX lights light up so much more of the road and are whiter than mine (i have 6k and have hated them since the min i put them in) If i had more money to waste i would do a projector retro in a heart beat to get the more light.

ever single person that i know that has wanted blue or purple lights i have wanted to stab in the face because you lose light output. if you must have more color i would not go over 6000k, but i recommend as others here get 4300k.

Or get retro fitted projectors i have projectors on the s2k and damn are they bright and i can see everything and it is very nice. Of course i will be sticking with stock bulbs for the light output.

Just change the bulbs but after you change bulbs and they still look dim or something else. Then its the ballast or inverter causing the problem.

Now the brightest light output will be 4300k-4500k = White
5k = Not As Bright White As 4300k -4500k But Still Way Brighter Then Everyone under it
6k = White With A Hint Of Blue
8k = Sky Blue ( I Have these)
10k = Dark Blue
12k = Dark Blue With Hint Of Purple

Now regardless of what people say, an HID system will always be a way brighter then halogen bulbs, but the higher in kelvin you go, the less light output there is on the road. Even though that "blue light" look is cool, it fatigues the eyes very fast and I have a first hand experience on that.

go to DDM-Tuning dot Com and you can get a pair of bulbs for under $40 including shipping. They're a very reliable source and I've been dealing with them for over 2 years

Yep so true, the blue lights dont look good on a tl. The cars not some teenage ricer mo-bill, its a refined car for adults who have money...lol No but really just leave it stock or do the retro tsx.

nahh not really blue i may go after the the 5000k or maybe the 6000k but from the look of things im liking how the 4300-4500k sound

if you wana look "cool" and still see, get 5k bulbs. 6k is a little too blue and much less output.
