halo led headlights~!!!
last winter i took my tc up north to snowboard and the whole trip was snow, ice,gravel,etc.....my hood,front bumper,and my headlights were BADLY scratched, rock chipped, and on....it's been a slow process but so far i got bumper taken care of, bought seibon cf hood instead of bondo andrepainting the hood waiting to install, and it's headlights turn, i was looking at some halo led headlights on websites but i came to a dead stop...
i have 8000k hid on my stock headlight and with new headlight, will the hid's fit or will i have to get a whole new one?
OR will it be that i only have to get 8000k bulb instead of the whole HID kit?
PLEASE HELP ME OUT PLEASE~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you have a picture of the lights you want, or a link to them?
If the lights are made for the tC and aren't a special kind of light (such as projectors), then they should accept the stock light fitting (the part that actually holds the light, not the light itself).
You have the HID kit that plugs into the stock headlights right? That would mean that you have 9006 (I think it's 9006... that or 9005). So, if you new headlights accept the stock fitting, then your HID's should fit the new headlights.
If the headlight do not accept the stock headlights simply because of a fitting issue, then you wouldn't have to buy an entire new HID kit. You would just have to get a fitting that works with the new headlights (which they should come with) and run the HID wires through that fitting. That wouldn't be hard, just cut and splice the wires back together.
However, usually if lights that are made for a particular car, do not accept the stock fittings, it's usually because they are a special type, like projector headlight. In this case, you would have to do some retrofitting to make the HID's work. A lot of people do not want to do that kind of retrofitting, so they look for lights that already have HID's installed in them. I guess it really depends on how much time you want to spend on them.

yap it's 9006, and thanks for your comment, i guess all that i can do for now's just wait till my headlights come and see if it fits right....if not i'll just go with stock, i don't mind stock headlights, i think it looks sweet
