Default 2008 headlights (tC)

Does anyone know if the new 2008 headlights will fit on a 2006 tC?

go ask you dealer or talk to Scion themselves. I doubt anyone will know without having them. from the looks on the outside it might, but without knowing the specs and bolts we wouldnt know.

Considering I doubt anyone has one yet (not that I know of anyways), I would assume no one could really tell you for sure.

Then again I would also assume they should fit since there shouldn't be any major body or structural changes.

I don't care for them too much though... unless the projector beam pattern is REALLY good and they'll take a good HID setup, they're kind of ugly.

im sure with Scion knowing everone will want them it would be ideal to make them the same way and whatnot. Then again, i wouldnt know if they would try to make them different to avoid all tC owners to become an 08 look alike. IMO, i wouldnt get them after seeing a picture of the projector too far back into the shroud. That will cause some light output problems on the sides. A retro would be ideal depening on the size and specs inside the housing? I would say about $175-200/ea.

Ya, they're definitely projectors... it's just a matter of how good they are and what the beam/cutoff look like.

I'd consider getting them if the cutoff and such look nice with a set of HID bulbs...

Do retro on these since shrouds is not necessary. But then again, I know the dealership will charge your A$$$$$ for a pair.

The original pictures of the 08 featured projector lookalikes for sure. Looks like Scion listened to its customers and found that perhaps we'd like a little substance to go with the style. Thank goodness.

I'm guessing that these projectors are the same ones used on the xb2, I could be wrong, but makes sense considering both are 2008 models and both have projectors...

I didn't think they were on the lot yet. I thought later this month or next month? Should they be here this early?
