Hey guys jus got a 05TL and am new here. I want to change my headlight bulbs but am not sure what to replace them with?

 

The aftermarket part number is D2S. Hopefully there are others that can chime in with recommendations

 

DDM TUNING Sells replacement bulbs for cheap! i've heard nothing but good things
about them and alot of members here have them on their rides just like i do.

thats the link for the bulbs, just select D2S under bulb type.

For bulb color i would recommend 6000k, they are a good blue with good light output,
higher than 6000k will be more purple with less light output and lower with be more yellow/white



Hope this helps!

 

8k looks nice IMO

 

Blue light = FAIL

 

i have 8000k HID D2S and H11 HID for my lower fogs both from HID xtra...IMO HID xtra probably makes the best affordable HID bulbs for our cars...ive bought ones off ebay for the same price and they are garbage and some of them dont work or flicker

if you want to spend the money go with the 100 dollar kaixen bulb....if not 32 dollar bulbs from hid xtra are bangin

 

btw you will most likely have to take the bumper and each headlight out...ive never been able to do it without cuz i have an aem v2 and it gets in the way..

 

DDM Tuning has them for $15 a pair right now.

And you will have to remove the bumper and headlight housing to change bulb, also need a specific bit to remove the screw.

 

some have found a way thru the fender liner without removing bumper and light

Kaixen rock- our vendor excelerate has them or found online

5000k is as high as you can go and not lose a bunch of white light in front of the car- on the road to see with!!!
6000 you can still see with but not as well- dark roads are a problem except the lane lines light up brilliant!!

those pics are deceptive- you cant get a good image and bulbs change color and brightness with use- need 50 hours run time to burn in
