Quick question to all a-ziners with 3rd Gen TL. Anybody want to help me install two new HID bulbs on my KBP TL-S? Or can anyone refer me to a place to do them around Rockville, Maryland area? I called a place called car toyz II and they charge 75/hr of labor to do it. Anybody offering cheaper, I'm willing to pay cash! PM me directly if you want to do it yourself! ( i'll help, I just don't know what to take apart and the DIY thread looked confusing )

 

I'd do it for $50 if you drive to Owings Mills, MD

 

Where are you trying to install them? Fogs, high beams, lows?

 

yeah answer ifirahse's question, but either way, it's a very simple install. If you know what you're doing it'll take 15-30 minutes max.

 

Nice...
I installed ballinfizzle's fucking TEIN SUSPENSION for FREE... and guys here are charging $50 to take 15 minutes to pop in a few d2s bulbs.

That's what this community is all about eh?

I'd help you dude, but I won't install 10K bulbs. Your cutting the output of your headlights nearly in 1/2 for a gay purple hue...

 

Haha that made me laugh. No doubt on that. Hell if I was in that area I'd help you out for free. Plenty of people on here have helped out. Just returning the favor.

 

2 fuckin bulb he gots 2 be jokein

 

I hope to hell he was joking

 

Hey everyone, I've got a 2008 TL Type-S and my MID is telling me that I'm low on gas.

Is there anyone in the LA area that can help me refuel my car? I'm willing to pay.

 

rofl

 

I hope you're joking...

Don't be so greedy, this is a community car forum...

I'll do it for free if you're in the Atlanta area.

 

man, what is up with the bitterness? yes, i am serious but if guys think i'm offering too much hey, i'd gladly ask for it for free. Anyways, now about that output issue...10,000K is almost purple yes, but is output really that screwed because of it?

 

ask urself this: can u see alot of light with purple at night?

 

Stop bashing the OP, not everyone is willing to explore foreign territory....

I've actually cracked my oem bulb when pulling it out from the driver side, I was rushing..well learned my lesson, lol....

To the OP...my advice is to remove the battery, and go behind the wheel well...before you start doing it, just carefully examine each side. Have a friend over, so he can watch over you.

First time install will take you about 30-45 mins...without rushing. In my 00TL it was a breeze, 30 secs for each bulb, lol... my 08 TLS with tight space...it's a biach.

Follow the instructions that are in the 3G garage..they are perfect!

Good Luck.

PS If you were in NYC area, I would of done this for you for a cup of joe Peace.

 

Agreed with you on the 10K....I see plenty of those x-mas trees driving around in NYC....not my cup of tea.

In regards to free teins install......

 

 

LOL you DICK ahahaha

 

i needa get my 6000k bulbs installed..who's willing to help me??

 

buncha aholes. Thanks for the love.

 

The guy being "taught to fish" called his instructor an a-hole too... till he was able to catch his own eats.

and yes... 10000K bulbs typically have less output than HALOGEN bulbs... nearly 1/2 the lumen output of the stockers.

Have fun.

 

<<<<============ has 10,000K HIDs in his Headlights and I SEE just FINE...

FYI, 10,000K DOES NOT HAVE A PURPLE HUE... it has a BLUE HUE...

That's why there are flavors... for all the different TASTES...

$50 is a little excessive though...

 

so nobodys gona help me

 

the higher the K (kelvin) the less bright the light output will be in Luemens.. its a simple fact..

id do it..but im tired of doing work to peoples acuras for free...sorry.

 

how much?

 

hey XxAfG786xX where did you buy the megan test pipe??? if you come to nyc i will put them on for you ....

 

Why would I be kidding? Just because this is a community car forum doesn't mean all the labor should be free?

I need my head gasket replaced on my 92' Olds Cutlass - Wanna do it for free?

Car community forums offer FREE advice/How-To's and DIY's....not necessarily labor.

 

man nyc is far, i got it from ebay...its actually for the accord but fits tle tl...

 

what year accord?????

Yea...no.

the higher the K (kelvin) the less bright the light output will be in Luemens.. its a simple fact..

 

i just install mine...it took me about an hour... i took off the bumper and then the lights....it was very easy...i think you can do it on your own....i also install an air horn at the same time....

 

who the hell took the bumper and lights off their car to replace a headlight bulb....u dont gota go thru all that ..i had people charge me so much money n still did not get it done til one of my boy hooked it up for me for free ..takes a good 30 mins..all u gota do is take the fender lining off and stuck your hand in there twist the covor off( going to b tight) and its just lil prong things that holds it in place just amke sure u line it in place or will not beam right

 

^^^ hooked on phonics?

 

Congrats on breaking your bulb covers (if you twisted them).

The reasons why they were tight is because you failed to remove the small HEX bolt holding them in. Once that bolt is removed, they come off very easily.

 

i took the bumper off to hide my air horns and the hid boxes for my fog lights...i just wanted a clean install...i dont do half ass work especially on my own car....

 

He'd probably burn more than $25 of gas driving up there, sitting in traffic, etc....

 

ok done deal, can a mod close this thread?
