What K of bulbs do you guys use on your TL? mine is a 06 NBP TL, what K do you guys think will look good on it?

 

please see the many current and past threads on the headlight subject - just scroll thru the main title list
everything you need to know about kelvin color rating and lumens of light output is there

4300k stock
5000k nice, more blue- good white
6000 even more blue- really picks out the road lines and signs but lose some white on the road
8000- purple- cant see much of the road with them- not good for driving

 

Kind of a novice when it comes to these. So If I have to upgrade to a 6000K, all i need is 2 new bulbs ?

 

As long as your car has HID you can just replace the bulbs.

 

I have 10,000k's and I am very happy with them. 12,000 seemed too high, 10 is just right IMO.

 

What is the bulb part #'s that are next to the HID projectors on Gen3 TL's? (to the inside) I would like to replace these bulbs to the same Kelvin as the projectors or possibly go yellow. Also the best ones to get or brightest and who sells them for the best price would be great.

 

Stock is 4300k
5000k is what most new Mercedes use
6000k is what I have (works great, buy 4 bulbs and replace the 3000s closest to the center...what are thoes lights called?)
8000k is blue
anything higher than 10000k is useless. 10 would be my limit.

 

oh and thoes are 6006 bulbs. But a set from HID extra and use the acurazine group buy code. $54 shipped. I just did that.

It takes literally 15 minutes to install them.

 

Ok....I'll bite. Please tell or post a link to what your referencing to.
