ok now i have searched a lot and cant find anything. i was wondering if the projector headlights for the TC are good to buy off of ebay. tell me what you guys think.

I wouldn't ever buy them... but there are plenty of people who do have them.

you didnt search liar!

you didnt search liar!

:rofl: i agree.

there are at least three threads just filled with projector stuff.. and they are still going

Just know this in general for all aftermarket headlights - majority of scion owners are not satisfy with their look and quality.

Yup, the quality sucks. They not only look cheap, they are cheap. LED's burn out fast, cut-off sucks. If you want good quality projector headlights go with a retro. If you arent comfortable doing one yourself, there are plenty of guys on here that im sure wouldnt mind doing them for you for parts + labor.

Get a retrofit done if you want real HID projector, I just got mine done recently and I'm so happy with mine. You get what you paid for.

...You get what you paid for.
:bow:

ya i wouldnt buy aftermarket, i have aftermarket in my car but im just settleing with them untill i get the time to retro, th elight output is ok it does miss a few spots, the LEDS suck they burn out, so i have mine covered up with a eye brow, ummm ya its beter to just retro them =/ what i keep telling people when they see my aftermarket headlights

Yup. They look 1000 times better than cheap aftermarket crap. Not to mention if your creative you can make em look how ever you want.

where do you buy the stuff for retro

check out http://www.customlightz.com They have been working on my quad retro fit and do great work. Just expect to pay close to 800 dollars for parts and labor because you will need:

Projectors
Bulbs
Ballasts
Shrouds
Possibly new housings

Their labor on the tC retrofits is $275 without the price of parts.

where do you buy the stuff for retrobest place HIDPlanet.com in the forums. Some and i say some get lucky to find parts on ebay.

Ya when it comes to retro stuff you can learn everything on HIDPlanet as well as buy everything you need.

yeah but im not looking to spend $800 on this

www.hidplanet.com <--- my hid kit (i tossed aside the e46 projectors
www.ebay.com <--- tsx projectors

yeah but im not looking to spend $800 on this

You can get your own projectors and do a retrofit yourself, it's alot cheaper

here is FX projector on ebay very cheap

Then there is no need to post this thread, you already know your answer. There are no good aftermarket headlights for the tC. Just remember that you get what you pay for.

well have fun with the ebay projectors. you gotta pay to play.

Hmm... seriously. If you can't afford retro, stay stock. get some bulbs from sylvania or piia and call it a mod. Trust me, you're better off w/o those aftermarket projector headlights. Some of them don't look bad, but there's just too many problems, namely bad output and fogging issue
