Are there any good quality headlights that are not just piece of junk on the market? All I can find is the ebay ones and I dont know if that is reliable. Anyone have any that they can give good feedback on?

anzos ive heard are so far the "best" aftermarket lights

usually the problems with any after market lights is either the halos die out. leds die out or the MAIN problem is the offcut on the projectors blow. so really is it worth taking the risk and being 200/300 dollars down nah its not

ur best bet would be saving up ur money watever u were willing to spend on headlights and jus do a retrofit. projectors will be better cutoff will be better and u can also throw sum halos on the lights as well

Anzo's can be made to work, you can replace the halo's with some designed for computers, put in an eyebrow from the stock headlights, and fix the cutoff...

Oh, and don't forget to reseal them, the fogging/moisture issue is pretty bad on some of them as well.

I had the first gen Anzos. Never gave me any problems. The one headlight bulb went out, but I replaced it for like $5 from Wal-Mart, lol.

Whats some of the companys that do the retrofiting? I dont think I could do it myself. I seen that there were a couple of companies that retrofit but I cant remember what the name of them was.

Yeah i got a 06 white tC and recently replaced both my headlights and brights. I went with some Sylvannia cool blue regular lights and I got the Silverstars for brights and i think they are so much better than the halogens that come with the tC's. but if you want the blue head lights like a 350z has then hid is the way to go but if you want just a nice improvement, go with silverstar. i dropped 70 bucks for my two sets i believe the retro kit and bulubs are almost 3oo-500 dollars
