Does anybody knows the difference between the TL's HID vs the MAXIMA's HID? Why is it more Bluer/Purplish?

 

probably due to the intensity level. if you look at HID kits . the different intesities have different colors.

 

not true, all stock HID's are the same color temp 4300K.

the difference is the ballast and projectors used

 

(just teasin')

 

It is most definate the projector lense. The Maxima has a lot sharper cut off than our TL. However, the TSX and S2000 puts on a pretty nice rainbow light show too.

 

it's the lens. it only looks bluer/purplish if you look at it. but if you look at the road, its the same.

 

IMO, when i see a maxima coming towards me, it's irritating. The light moves around too much and causes the color to change = hurts my eyes. It happens too with the TL but it's not that bad. I'm glad i chose the TL.

 

TRUE! but some Maxima headlights is pointing high which is irritating that sometimes i give them the HIGH BEAM when its really bad... Too bad for them they dont have HID on their HIGH beams...lol

 

Yea Maxima healights are blinding!!! I have had Saabs before and the Xenons were self leveling... how come some cars have this and some don't?

 

because European mandated self leveling and Americans didn't. As far as maxima goes, I havent had too many encounter with them HID on. So I will take careful look next time.

 

maxima HID is very yellow when u see it closer...

 

Also keep in mind not all 6th gen maximas have HIDs...
