I want to swap out my headlights for either OEM projector lights:
http://www.trdsparks.com/displaypart...&parts_id=1745

or a generic model. The generics on the forum are about 1/2 the cost as the OEM's but I care more about what is going to last or shall I say.... what has lasted for the forum people. I know the OEM's are going to last. How about the generics?

Also fog lights. There are a few people who are selling fog light inserts for the right and left bottom bumper. Anybody have pics of such? Or any install tips? Or maybe someone thinks they aren't even a good part? Let me know - thanks.

The foglights i have the OEM ones and they will be taken out because my intercooler will be there. Can I use the same OEM wires for the new foglights or is it a special harness since it came from toyota? I want to sell the foglights so I dont know if I would need to take the lights and wiring out or just the lights.

 

the vrd/apt fogs hook into teh same harness but they come with all teh stuff u need (switch, wires, relay, harness connectors) so if u are selling them then remove all teh wires at the front bumper and at the switch but not the wire connecting the two. VRD's are a breeze and they look great

VRD and APT lights are the same. Ebay is the best place. i bought VRD's for 140$ i think. APTs should be a bit cheaper maybe.

 

these are the ones you want. dont mind them comming from Taiwan.

^oh nice $80 ..... is anybody putting any kind of hid bulbs in them? Maybe a yellow one - or do they make hid housings for the fogs?

 

the foglight bulbs i would like to get in yellow so they actually do some good when driving in fog. Like this:

MODIFICATIONS NEEDED FOR SCION tC WITH TRD LIP KIT

do you know what needs to be done?

 

There needs to be a couple notches cut in the OEM front lip in order for the fog lights to fit in there. Ask Carbonxe.

 

i sent him a pm - i dont wanna chop up my lip kit for these lights - but i like them so i hope i can make something work

 

I've heard of some people being able to just shove em in there but I don't know how that works lol

 

^yea i dunno - im trying to find some pics of people who have done the install - if it can be shoved in w/o an issue ill buy them now - but i dont wanna unless i see what im working w/

 

now with the headlights i am gonna go with trdsparks projector headlights from the 08' - far as i know they will fit with no issue right? Also, there are so many people selling inexpensive hid kits on SL - whats a good brand? I dont wanna buy something that is going to melt my harness. I had an old set of mccullough branded ones and they were great quality

 

who sells the best hid conversion kit on the forum? I see the prices are a big range and dont want to buy a cheap set and have it be bad ....but these kits really came down in price from 4 years ago

 

for your HID needs

you have to cut the lip its not that bad i was scared too at fist but i did it and it was well worth it carbonxe got his lip molded so there is no cutting for his fogs

 

anybody know anything about Anzo headlights?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=f&oq=&aqi=g10

they look cool and i only see a few people with them

 

More than likely the halos will burnout in a few months like most peoples and the cutoff for them is horrible.

 

I just put some yellow PIAA bulbs in my APT's:



You won't be disappointed if you get em.
