Finally got my HID fogs to work, took a few pictures... Opinions please. Should I get new D2S bulbs to match my fogs? Any other suggestions?

Personally I would change the D2S to 6000k. The OEM 4300k looks a bit yellow now compare to the fogs. Post up pics if you do get the 6000k D2S bulbs.

I did change the stock D2S to McCulloch 6000k D2S bulbs. I'm kind of confused as to why they aren't as white as I expected.. should I just get a pair of Kaixen bulbs?

If you're not on a budget, get authentic Philips 6000k Ultinon D2S bulbs.

WOw I am suprised those are 6000k D2S you have there. Usually 6000k is very white and has a tint of blue hue to it.

Probably need a bit more time to break in. Let us know.

Nice wheels...are those CX's?

...car looks like twigglius's TL..he's riding on the CR's.

csmeance

where did you mount the balast?

ed99

That is what I thought too when I first saw the pics. LOL!!!

lol, yeah it does look like twigg's TL.
They are 19x 8.5 Racing Hart CX's. Running on a set of Hankook Ventus right now. Looking to get some better stickier tires, hopefully some used pirellis or toyos.
As for the lights, hopefully after a week or two the D2S's will gain a little more white/bluish hue. The fogs really help light up the front of the car. Just ordered some silverstar amber turn signal bulbs. Can't wait till my headlight setup is complete.

Had a question about exhausts. My mechanic, Ty Tipton, was planning on installing a single muffler system exhaust on my car for 500 including all components. He said that a single system would give me gains of 20HP. It would consist of 2.5 piping, one reasonator and one muffler. Piping would be aluminum, and not mandrel bent. (Mandrel bent would give me 1 or 2 extra HP, but cost me a lot more money) Ty has won a Nascar championship, and has been working on honda/acuras for many years. I honestly believe that his suggested single exhaust system will give me 20 HP. What do you guys think? Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks a lot guys.

For the left headlight, I mounted the ballast on the side of the battery(facing headlight), under the cover. For the right headlight, I kind of forgot where I mounted it. I remember that there was a few spots where it was flat and totally doable. I think I mounted the ballast on the chassis.

I recently debadged all the logos on the back of my car, including the acura sign. Now there are two holes smack in the middle where the acura syumbol was. Would it be a good idea to bondo the two holes? I'm more interested in putting a black acura symbol to plug up the two holes. Will the black chrome symbols for the 2nd gen TL from hondaacuraworld.com fit my 04 ? Or do people spray paint and clear coat their original chrome logos? Let me know guys! Thanks !

do you drive with the fogs on? Any issues with bliding other drivers?

Im thinking about getting the HID fogs too but would like to keep them on all the time, but im worried about blinding other drivers.

erigan

Yes, I always drive with my fogs on. I havent really noticed people high-beaming me, since I usually drive pretty fast and dont pay attention to other people's headlights.
Anyways, who cares ? You'll be fine... and the other driver will be fine as well too.

how much where the bulbs? how hard was it to do the install?

Nice looking. Your fogs look like they're even brighter than the HID's. Here in Canada the TL does not come equipped with fogs for some reason....anyone know why?
