want to put on different headlights (10,000k)
i just recently purchased some 10,000k jdm headlight bulbs for my 07 TL, but once i installed them they only stay on for about a minute before they go off....im pretty sure its because they are getting too hot...does anybody know what i can do to solve this problem?

6000 is as high a number as you really want to go for normal humans- 8 + is not throwing much visable light on the road to see by
If you did not but the $150 HID bulbs- you have the wrong bulbs!

Give us the part numer of the bulb to confirm that the parts guy at krappin sold you HALOGEN or xenon bulbs for a regular 12volts system
The TL of course- uses no regular parts!

The initial charge of current that the ballast creates to fire-up an HID lamp is enormous and would destroy a standard bulb in less than a second.
The fact that his lamps come on for a bit, before they shut off, tells us that they are HID lamps... but I suspect they are either defective, or poor quality lamps.
How much did you spend on the 10K lamps? Are they cheap ones...?
