oh, so i guess the older tls just had HId's and not a projector. If I did that, I guess I may as well just get a kit, yeah ?

yea, they had a reflector based HID set up. and yea, you might as well just get a kit. the only thing is that the reflector for the TL has differently aimed parts on it, so that the beam is shot out projector-esque so you wouldnt get so much "hot spots" that supossedly blind people. i have a HID kit in my OEM headlights, i just have them aimed properly, i havent been highbeamed once.

hmm the kit sounds much easier, how did you aim them?

haha, with the bolts on the back of the headlight and the built in level inside of them, hahaha. just make sure youre on level ground when you aim them. or atleast mostly level. theirs a bolt directly on the back of the headlight, which does up and down, and one off to the side, which does left to right. all i did was up and down.
