ok so i know for a fact that the TL headlights get jacked alot, and i haven't heard anything about them fixing the problem. Has anyone had that problem witht he newer TL's or has it been dealt with?

 

i don't think that i have heard of a 3g tl's HID/headlight being stolen from the car itself.

 

I think the alarm system goes off if someone tries to steal them...or maybe if someone tries to open the hood...can't remember.

Also, I think the headlights will not work on another other car besides the TL

 

our HID projectors are popular in the HID retrofiting world but like csmeance said i dont think people jack it out from the car itself.

 

yeah it's happened, my friend's 2g TL got his headlights jacked, the TL's HID's only have three prongs in them, yout ake a small crobar, popthem out less then 2 minutes you got a nice set of HID's... but im looking into the 3g TL... anyone ever haev this problem

 

oh yeah and maxima's have the same problem, i'm not sure if it's the same problem but just a heads up too =]

 

Theft of the HIDs was a problem with the 2G TLs and even more so with the Maximas, but not the 3G TLs.

 

i think 3g's are safe just because the 2g's are so easy to steal. if a thief saw an '02 and an '04 in a lot he'll go for the '02. it probably takes him 3 minutes.

 

For the 3 g TL, to takeout the headligh assembly or just to reac the projector, the hood has to be open, the bumper removed and then some.

 

yeah i have heard of that, TL, FX 35 or 45 and some other model, they been jack not the whole headlight but the HID itself .... i try it myself on my 3G TL, it is very very easy to take out the HID system ... i can do it in less than 10 mins

 

yeah... RIGHT!!!... you must have hands like a 3 year old... and some very specialize tools to uncrew the ballast from the underside of the actual headlights... the bulbs themselves can be removed without complete removal of the bumber through the wheel well...
