Any recommendations on HIDs???

Hey guys I am trying to get some HIDs for my TL Type-S 2007, anyone selling them or knows anywhere I can get some quality installed for a good price in the Miami, FL area?!?!!?

As well as should I do white color HIDs on a pearl white car with yellow fogs? anyone have any opinions?
THANKS!!!

The TL comes with HIDs. Yellow fogs look good on a WDP.

Eh? Like black_seven said, your car has HID's and high quality ones at that. If you want a little whiter then ONLY get the Osram CBI's no cheap stuff especially when your car already has excellent quality lights. For fogs I can't help you with that as I always drive with fogs off since all they are is glare producers. But as mentioned if you want to use them yellow would probably look good on a white car.

But if you don't want to spend $185 for the Osram CBI's go with the OEM Philips (I think 85122+) or cheaper versions of the Osrams (i think 66240). I like visiting the retrofit source. Morimotos are aftermarket bulbs. BTW your bulb size is D2S.

True, but the CBI's are available on eBay as well for like $90 shipped for the pair and from a 100% feedback seller as well. I even thought about trying them for that price!!

Nice! Do you know if they're legit CBI's? BTW Philips came out with some bulbs that's comparable to the Osram CBI's. They're called Xtreme Visions. They're rated at 5000K, which I believe the CBI's are rated the same on TRS. Though I do believe I read somewhere that the CBI's were re-rated at 5500K.

retrofitsource warns ppl that most seller on ebay are selling fake osram and philips bulbs. At $90 a pair I'd be very skeptical, because I've heard even retailers pay more than that for each pair. I'm not saying it's fake for sure since I have no proof, but just skeptical.

The bulb packaging on those look different than the bulb packaging that came with my CBI's from retrofitsource. Again, I realize that's not definitive proof, but it could be something to take note of.

Interesting indeed. Well all the feedback seems good so it's hard to say.
