I am not sure they will fit on a 2008 tC or not. Can anyone help me out?
Sorry if this was posted before, but when I search for it I didn't see it in there.

They should fit without issue... if you want to trade decent OEM headlights for crappy aftermarket ones...

Well one issue is the harness. The 08s uses a different low beam bulb.

Harness is no problem. You can get socket harness here: http://www.rallylights.com. Convert it from H11 to 9006. I converted my HB from 9005 to H11.

But why would you want these aftermarket headlights more than your stock headlights? The stock set probably have twice the value as the aftermarket set.

I just really like the Halo or Angel Eyes. Thats about the only reason for those. Does anyone have any other way to get that same effect.

The Halos/LEDS aren't very reliable on those aftermarket models, it's been pretty much accepted here @ SL.com. From what I understand, it's best to have your OEM headlamps fitted with them by an experienced modder if you want reliable halos that will last.

You dont even need to be experienced to install angel eyes. You can get the Rage Halos, or the Predator Thinlines from Umnitza. Theres quite a few options really. To save you money, just install them yourself. Not that hard. All you really do is bake the headlight to get it open then just put em in there, rebake and seal and wire them. Theres a DIY so im not gonna go through the process here.

if you want a good set of headlights with halos get the Anzo headlights, at least those have CCFL halos, not that LED ****

Ya I believe you have to buy H11 size bulbs for the 08 lights. Someone correct me if I am wrong though.
