I plan to upgrade the headlights, but first wanted to make sure I liked the 6k color.

yeah, in the pics they come up looking blue/purpleish, but they are perfect

my pics come out that way too. what are you doing for the license plate light. they have LED's that are pretty bright now.

i still did the CC tube in mine. your write up was perfect, thanks!

loved the way it looked since i did it way back in my old 04. i've compared it to others with aftermarket bulbs and mine is still way brighter.

The license plate lights on this car I had some LEDs in my 350Z so I took them out before I sold it and put them in the TL plate lights. They are white and a bit brighter. Been working fine from that vendor for a while now. I will probably switch to the Cold Cathodes but for now just threw in the LEDs I had. I need to locate another vendor now for the cold cathodes as the one I got my stash from doesn't carry the white ones anymore.

Everything was plug and play. Stock Harness, bumped the fuse to 15amp which is fine for the stock wiring.

I also ordered the 6k headlight bulbs from them. Can't wait to get those.

Good job bro!!!

FYI: 6000k looks blueish on those pictures because it's actually a tiny bit bluer then our stock Xenon which are 4300k.

Nice job on the install, can not wait to do mine 4300k

The camera though does make it more bluer than it is in real life once warmed up.

Thanks! Can't wait to get my 6k for the headlights.

On the factory jack spot right behind the radiator. There is a arrow that points to it with a bump that comes down.

Super easy. Plug and play. Just loosen the under panels on each side (2 bolts and one snap) and you can pull it down to access behind the fog.

Just ordered the fogs, after seeing how much nicer they look compared the to factory, its a no brainer especially with the discount. I always hated how they looked compared the the headlights, too much of a difference.

Got the headlights installed with 6k also now. What a pain in the you know what that was with the bumper on. Driverside was the hardest, but after doing one I figured out how to do the passenger side pretty fast. They now match! I will take some pics soon once the car isn't filthy and it's not freezing outside.

Looks very nice!! Just curious have you gotten flashed at all it looks like they are throwing out a lot of glare especially in the picture compare to the stock side.

Let us know how the 6000K headlight HID bulbs are. Obviously they are gonna be a tad dimmer than stock but should look good though.

They are a tad dimmer, but not enough to worry about. They match the fogs perfectly and look great.
