whats up azine i have a few questions so some one please HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so im still riding around with the stock 4300k haha but i was thinking its time to upgrade to some 6000 or 8000 i would also like to hid fogs but i dont know which ones to go with..so could you please post pics of what you running...also i would like to know some hid websites i have heard of UTIZMA or something like that i forgot how it spelled but i would also like to know some other sites because i have a friend that wants to upgrade to some projector fogs and lights

 

rice-age! @8000k.

 

Check my Avatar I'm running 8k head and foggies, with switchbacks. I get my HID's locally.

 

As far as kits go, DDM Tuning has been great for all us Mustang guys but I'm looking into getting a TL for my DD, i'm sure they're still great to work with though for TL's. Around $40/kit, slim, lifetime warranty, etc. Go to ddmtuning.com and pick up the 35w kit (55w can get very hot, don't want to melt anything).

About "upgrading"...you'd actually be downgrading if your went with either one of those kits (6K or 8K) because the light output won't be as bright. If your set of getting something else I would jump on the 6K, never higher than that though. If I were in your place, and I will be shortly lol, I would add fogs to the bumper and throw HID's in them. It looks great and will help with output even more!

 

yea i know i will actually be (downgrading by going with either of these kits) its just that i live down is MS lol and surprisingly there are alot of 3g and im the only AM around and none of them are modded and i guess you can say that i wanna stick out from the rest but not like a sore thumb and def not ricer i want little things done like jptl04 that WPD he is my IDIOL NO HOMO

 

haha no my friend i def wanna stay away from the ricer look i never seen any ricers with a navi come from the factory...this is a luxury car you wont see me racing from traffic light to traffic premium is a bitch ....this is a car that you roll all the windows down open the sun roof and cruise im a 19 year old fresh out of highschool with a fully loaded 05 AM that just hit 65000 miles and no im not spoiled im just really thankful and value what i have plus its a ACURA i take care of her she will prob out live me without a doubt

 

he's saying that the bluer lights (the higher the kelvin, the bluer/purple) will make you look rice. stay factory, the color flicker is great and you get more usable light, which is safer.

 

thanks bucks for answering for me.

 

my bad dude i didnt mean to sound so hostile i read your comment wrong thought you were tryin to be a db

 

I hope that is what you meant...

 

Yeah I'm guessing that's what was meant. That's what I was trying to get across but noone thanked me...

 

You were right on with your comment! THANK YOU!!!

 

I'm running 8000k foo! But I'm about to go back to stock, 8000k+tinted windshield =

 

I put 6000k in my TL. Looks better than stock, and no noticeable light output difference.

 

6000k headlights and foggs for me

 

Put in 6k. Its a tiny bit nicer than stock and its not RICE since it matches all BMWs Mercedes, Lexus, etc very well.

 

6000k here:



You can buy them here: http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-236446.aspx

You can also buy the same bulbs in 5000k, 6500k, and 8000k temps. Coming from someone who used to have 8000k bulbs, don't do it. Do 6000k or under

 

I'm not sure how you can say 6000K matches BMWs, MB and Lexus since they all use 4300K...not being mean but the color that you see if from the light bending over the cutoff shield. Add a fresnel lens and you increase the width of the blue/purple cutoff...

 

Another good place is here:

http://www.hidextra.com/

 

they are our forum sponser and give members a discount! check out the group buy section for those discounted deals!

6K is a good temperature if you want to look different but still stay with a good amount of light. You will need D2S bulbs for the headlights and 9006 HID kit for the fogs! Be sure to order a relay kit so you don't melt the harnesses for the fog lights!

^^ I hella agree with you cause I'm in the same situation as you are... premium is a bitch ahha and on top of that the car payments every month... -_- but my TL is my baby!!! o and also i got a 05 NBP haha

 

you have to remember "you gotta pay to play!" Just be glad you haven't reached the world of oil changes that cost you 75 dollars alone in oil!

 

I am new to the HID world and was wondering if you could just buy replacement 6k Bulbs for the factory lights or do you have to buy a complete HID kit?

 

It was a db answer! LOL

you were correct Bucks.

Thanks TL Noob!!!!!

yes, just buy replacement bulbs.

 

[quote=yes, just buy replacement bulbs.[/quote]


Ok what size bulb is it and where is the best place to buy a replacement 6k bulb?

 

D2S and ebay....you probably won't find anything that matches perfectly to the size of an oem, Philips bulb though, so your output may be affected. I had an aftermarket set that I compared to Philips D2S and the dimensions were slightly off...caused a slanted/warped cutoff

 

I want those 19' rims soooo bad...


yea go get 6000K lights
