The rockblocker looks good on the headlights. The gold emblems on back really stand out too.

this is one tasteless TL..
how exactly gold goes with brushed aluminum trim ?
no shit it affects the headlight output - why not just sell those HIDs and install the good old yellow halogens - can make a few bucks in a process!
and if you keep tinting those tails, one day someone's gonna smash into your rear and say he couldnt see your stop signals 'cuz they are smoked - and then you have a long chat with police and insurance company..

what is this with people - some install blue bulbs, some put 200 watt bulbs in their blinkers, some make it dark.. Hundreds of engineers were involved in making decisions what light output to provide, and they know better - so stop f-ing with it! It's becoming painful to my eyes to drive in NJ 'cuz ppl f-ing around with their headlights and tail lights.. Ooohhh rice.. Don't be like them!
Why not work on some real perfomance/handling mods if you have spare time and money?

nothing personal, this is just my needed to vent

Nice car, but not feeling the headlights. It looks too dark. Not to offend, but I think it would look better blacked out. Good job. It looks clean.

I agree that the headlights are dark. Looks like the TL has no eyes...

Other than that, the ride is very sharp with the Gold emblems!

Good looking car. Looks like it needs a couple of coats of wax. Or it could be the pics. Desert Mist Metallic is a rare color. I think Ive seen one in Atlanta since 2004.

That is one raped TL.

The rockblocker and golden trim add insult to injury on the DM color!

Not feelin' the gold logos and the blacked out HIDs. My choice would have been to clear the HIDs. How does that saying go? "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."
