Default tC Xenon headlights

There is someone advertising on the internet and they make Xenon headlights for Scions, they also do them with the demon eyes too. They charge around $1500, I think, could someone please give me the website, my fiance would like to see it.

Thanks so much!!!

damn... 1500 for headlamps that don't even come with hids?...

before spending that much check out some other places that do headlamps for tCs such as hidretro.com.

they do good work, and look just as good if not better than the ones from clearcorners.com.

i have to admit though, the ones at clearcorners do look pretty nice, just not worth it imo.

You can get a set of retrofitted 3-series or 5-series projectors for around $1100 or $1200 with the angel eyes. As maximus said... hidretro.com.

and if you were to do it yourself, you can shave off more than half of that price, all the parts cost less than $500...mine costed me $350. all the insanely high prices people throwing around includes the labor which sometimes cost more than the parts.

invest in a tripod and use the timer on your camera.

Maximus96, hidretro.com was the one, thanks so much. My fiance looked at your retrofit again last night, he wants to build me a set but wanted to see them on the website before he did it. He is thinking about maybe building them and marketing them just not with all the mark up, he works in the auto industry so it is easy for him to get all the necessary items to build at wholesale cost, he found $1500 a little rediculous as well.

By the way, your instructions and pictures are great, you did a nice job on them. Have you run into any problems, I have heard about fogging issues, but my fiance knows a way around that one.
