Default Headlights help!

I just got a Scion tC 2010 model and i was looking at websites to find the Halo headlights that would fit into this model. But all the headlights I looked at saai thats its for the 2005-2009 model. I was wondering if these lights would fit into the 2010 model and if the wires and everything would work too.

Recommended websites for 2010 Scion tC headlights are greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Aftermarket headlights suck, the halos will burn out and the cutoff will be bad. Most fog up too. The 08-10 headlights are FAR better than any aftermarket headlight.

But they will fit but require a different bulb size

Yes, they would technically fit... but like DJ said, most of them suck in one way or another. Any of the LEDs on them will burn out after a while, they fog up b/c the seal is bad, the halos burn out... etc, etc, etc.

Gotta agree with not getting the aftermarket headlights. The 2010 tc comes with really good headlights! Just get an HID kit and call it a day. Trust me!

I have the aftermarket ones with the large LEDs on the bottom... Both lights are fogged and I think 1 or 2 of the LEDs work now. Piece of shat, i'm having a hell of a time getting some new ones from the junkyard too.

The 2010 tails aren't too bad... but most of the ones out there are also crap. A lot of people have switched to Anzos... but personally, I wouldn't bother.
