Xenon Headlights
I was thinking of changing some of the lighting on my TL 06 and was wondering what you guys would recommend. 10000k HIDs? and how would you install them?

I wouldn't go over 6000k. You will start losing a lot of light output after that.

^ werd. Welcome to the forums. If you look in the 3G Garage, there are threads in there that have DIY instructions on how to change them.

6000K is a nice blue color. Anything higher will start looking purple.

anything past 6000k is pointless. If you're wanting a hint of blue, then 6000k would be the way to go, but if you want a bright white, 5000k would be good

And for ricers....10k is blinding to oncoming traffic and you can't see anything behind the wheel.

my friend had 20k in his CTS and they were blue as Hell. You could see him a mile away and would light up the whole road
