2004 TL Headlight Change Question
Anyone aside from me think headlights will be nearly impossible or very time consuming to upgrade/change now that they are behind the 1/4 panels and not the hood?
I have been planning my foglight upgrade when I get the 04 and think I may not be able to get to them.

Never thought about it, but since you brought it up, it seems yes it would be hard to do many mods to the car
What type of upgrade are you thinking of? HID? or silver stars or brighter halogens?

Low, High, and fogs are all HID and in one unit. They are controlled by a shutter system.

"HID (HIGH-INTENSITY DISCHARGE) HEADLIGHTS
Previously, the TL had HID (High-Intensity Discharge) low beams coupled with conventional halogen high beams. The new TL headlights feature HID high and low beams, as well as built-in fog lamps. These bi-function HID high/low beams are made possible by a shutter device that mechanically controls the light output of the HID unit. When the driver selects high beam, an electric solenoid in the headlight moves a shutter forward, opening up a greater reflector area inside the headlight. When the lights are operated on low beam, this shutter repositions to act as a cut-off to keep the lighted area closer to the vehicle.
Compared to the previous TL, the new headlights dramatically increase the illuminated area, and are nearly 50 percent more effective at long range. The fog lamp illumination has also been increased."
