Wasup everybody im new to the forums and decided to finally upload some pics of my car.

2003 TL, 77,XXX Miles, 10K Hids

 

Personally 10k is way to intense of a color for me, I and I hope many others will recommend you change your bulbs to be within the ranges of 4.3k-6k.

 

i like your sticker in the back man. loyalty first.

 

Welcome to the forums. Take your nice clean slate and transform her into a sick classy ride of your own. First, start with some headlights that will safely light the road and 'upgrade' to 4.3-6k bulbs. I have 6k which is the limit to usability, they provide enough bluish tint when looking at them to be nice and enough usable white light on the road to be safe.

Great quote on that sticker as well. I'm personally not a huge fan of car stickers though.

 

Your driveway is pretty dirty. You left a pile a trash right next to your TL in the second picture.

A lot of people on the forums suggest using 4.3k (which is OEM spec), but I think you should use what you feel is appropriate. 10k is concerning due to both a lack of visibility and blinding the driver in front of you. I use 6k, but you should definitely consider switching to at least 8k.

 

yea man i just got the 10K because i really wanted the blue color but I already know about the 4-6K hids. Im going to change em out later on in the future

 

Welcome!

 

driveway dirty? well it is winter and theres alota leaves blowing around? maybe your talkin about my cuzins charger who runs 11s?

 

lol red font = sarcasm so he actually complimented ur cousin's ride... i think

 

definitely change out the headlights. im currently running 5k low/5k fogs and i'm loving them. you won't be let down.

 

welcome to the forum

 

thanks everybody! haha yea ill change out the lights later there cool for me right now, i plan on gettin tints soon. i was thinking 5% everything in the back and 35% for the passenger and driver window. Any positive feedback will be good

 

nice, good to have another tl in the bay. what part you from?

i agree on changing the lights also. and for tints i think the car look alot cleaner with same tint all around. i would go 20% percent all if you still want privacy, if not jus got 35%.

 

go 5% all the way around

I usually do 5% rear and about 15 or 35 in the front

but look around and see what you like

 

Nice cars. Welcome. Sticker in the back is dope.

 

im from pittsburg, yea im tryna go for a private look. ive decided with 5%in the back and 35 in front

 

i would go 5 all the way around but cops over here are bitches.

 

Another Aziner in the Bay! Welcome!

 

yea the cops out here trip too..

but yea 5% in the back 35 in the front

 

I like my windows to be uniform.
it kinda looks cheesy when the rear windows are darker than the front.

i say 35% on all 4 windows. on the rear glass maybe you can go darker.

 

who ever had my car before me tinted my back 35% and my front 20% and then my rear is like 20%

WTF, I want to change it buy yea

 

OMG those lights are dark when the hit the street compared to 4300k/5000k/6000k. Folks HIDs were made to look cool. They were made to brighten up the road to make it less straining on the eyes during night driving. If 8000k plus were so effective, auto makers would be installing them in their vehicles stock...lol. Put 6000k or 5000k back in their bro. Nice car btw. You cant go wrong with Satin or Alabaster Silver Metallic. Any plans? PM me if you'd like great effective ideas on a budget.

 

5000K is great low beams and i'd even say do 3000k for fogs. Yellow is the most usable light to cut through mist & fog no comparison. It also looks very JDM which personally i try to mimic to the best of my abilities. I have my reservations with doing hids in fogs (i'm doing Nokya 2500K until i investigate more) but ive you do id wissh folk use a less brighter color in the fogs. There is such thing as too much of something... .
