the 04 05 tells have brighter hids

 

tls*****

 

It's definitely you.

Stock is all Osram 4300K D2S...so it's all the same. The older the bulb, the yellower hue it will give. The projection may make it seem brighter from a distance...

 

just asking because on 2 of my boys tls they blue. ty

 

^^^ maybe they've changed the bulbs to higher Kelvins?

6000K?? Ask them.

 

uhhh I don't think so?

I'm fairly certain they're all the same!!!

I would ask them if they've changed their bulbsssss

 

^ a parrot?

 

When you first turn the lights on, they look blue untill they warm up.

 

hmmm i notice a bit of a difference. i have an 05 TL and my hid's seems to be a bit whiter and have a bit of a blue hue to them from a distance. i have not changed the bulbs or modified them in any way.


i was driving around in an 08 base TL loaner and the lights seemed a bit yellow...i know it wasnt just me becuase my brother along with some friends noticed as well.

 

Don't bulbs tend to shift color after about 100 hours of use? I think they turn more blue.

 

probably aftermarket bulbs.... and yes, they do slightly change color within about 100 hours of use

 

i knew i wasnt buggin.

 

The only difference between 04/05 and 06+ headlights are the deflector is different. Can't remember the technical names - but the 04 version uses the DOT slope (I think its called) - where the newer ones have a straight cut.

I.E. 04 = ________/----------------

06+ = _________I--------------------
