05-07 Headlights in 08 tC?
My headlights on my 08 tC have some nasty fog up near the eyelid area, and I wanted to just replace them. 05-07 headlights are much easier to find and cheaper online, and I was just wondering whether or not it would be plug n play or if I would need to do additional modification to get them to work. Thanks

You'll need to revert from H11 to 9006 for the low beam. High beam is the same as well as all the other markers.
NOTE: if you are getting HID's, it's irrelevant as you'll just use the provided cables with the HID kit.
P.S. what do you plan on doing with your '08 headlights once you switch out? I've been itching to do a retrofit but want some cheap heads to test on in case I mess up.

I did this to my car, all I had to do was get a 9006 connector set from advance, (5 or 6 bucks) cut the H11 connector off and solder the wires together with the 9006 connector. You could also use butt end connectors if you can't or don't know how to solder.
If foggy lenses is the only problem with your headlights why don't you just restore them? Headlight restoration kits or some light sanding and buffing will make them look new again. Google search headlight restoration, and watch some DIY youtube videos. They will show you how to do it right the first time.
