is there a aftermarket hid bulb for our headlights D2S that will look more bluish than 4300k but still switch color?

The fogs are pretty easy, but the headlights are a bit harder. Just take your time. You don't have to remove the bumper but it will take some doing to get in there especially on the driver side.

Looks good....I like the 3000K for fogs but that 6000K looks to match well with the headlights. I get all of my HID kits from HIDGate through ebay. Their prices are the very best online.

I also ordered the 6k headlight bulbs from them. Can't wait to get those.
Do we need to change the fuse or can we leave it as is?

You need to change it or it will blow. 15 amp is the standard size on most cars for fogs that I have had, so I went with that and haven't had any issues.

I'm sure you can pick it up at any auto store right? Or did you order yours online?

Pimpin, what is the wattage you used for the lower fogs. 35w or 55w for the 6000k?

BtW, I am recently a proud owner of a 08 TL and was thinking of doing this as my first mod so I am doing all of the research I can so I dont screw it up. So if you could help me out with some info, I would greatly appreciate it. Are the bulbs for the headlights D2S and for the fog lights, H8? I want to make sure I get the correct ones.
Thanks.

I had them mounted to the bumper at first, but the vibrations of the car made them fall off with the strong 3m double sided tape and cleaned with alcohol. So I had to tie strap them up to a bracket or the wiring up there. Can't recall what it was now.

I believe so. H8 is the fogs, the headlights I am not 100% sure but I believe you are right. XIDXtra will tell you exactly which ones you need if you order it through them.

These look really great! I just bought the same 6000k HID's for my Heads/Fogs. I was originally going to just go with 4300k for my fogs, to match my OEM heads, but I'm so glad I didn't now. lol
