Lowbeam not as white?
Lowbeam not as white?
So yeah, I've noticed this and it's kinda bothering me. My brother has an 08 TL-S and his low beam is definitely whiter than the TSX's. The TSX has a sorta greenish warm tint to it while the TL has a more pure white with a tiiiiiiiiiiiny hint of blue in it. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this? lol I might go and find a wrecked TL and snatch the bulbs from them
I wasn't too happy with the yellowness of the stock bulbs either, especially next to my white switchback leds. Snatch me a pair of bulbs too while youre at it and I'll get them from you this weekend!
Ordered a set of 6000k D2S bulbs, but after reading that it has less light output, I decided not to install them. My TL had 6000k and I have to agree, the light output is not as good as my factory TSX lights 
I later threw in a set of Nokya yellow fogs and it now it makes my low beams look whiter when contrasted next to each other (to me at least
)
Also, maybe the color output is due to our projectors?

Check it kids.. HIDs color temp change as the bulbs age. OE starts off ~4300K and will get whiter with use. However as color temp changes towards white->blue (higher color temp), you will also lose some lumens (light output). Simon, your Bro's TL is 4 yrs old so the HIDs will look significantly whiter than your Mom's TSX sucka!
Right now my oem bulbs are in a box doing nothing. I need to find a way to keep them lit up outside of the car and age them, so they turn more white. Then I can put them back in because they are great bulbs.
I could make a lamp out of them!
