TL Headlight Bulb Options

i have a 2005 tl and my fog light bulbs are xenon and my normal headlight bulbs arent, i want them all to match whether they are all xenon or HID or LED. So i was wondering if i can get some advice on which bulbs are best to order. Thanks (Sorry if i used the wrong terminology)

I'm saying they are xenon. Wasn't a question. Take out your HID bulb it says Xenon on the base.

Sounds to me like you are trying to replace your fog lights. Your headlights are in the round projector housings, while your foglights are the inner most ( closest to the grill ). Your OEM headlights are Xenon, and a nice bright white color.

The fog lamps are in the reflector type housing, the Main beams are HID bulbs which are in that glass dome (projector). You can buy an aftermarket kit for your fog lights so the bulbs match from one of our vendors on the site!
