So after contemplating to get the headlights, I decided to buy them. I am a complete newb to any sort of aftermarket part installation, but I decided to put the headlights in myself. So after 4 hours, I finally got them in. One headlight currently doesnt have the LEDs working nor the halos, because I must have wired them wrong. It got dark so I had to leave as is until tomorrow. I also purchased HIDs which should be arriving tomorrow or Saturday. Here are the pics, I will get daylight pics tomorrow!

let me know how they treat you because im thinking about purchasing them as well but i heard they leak so im not to sure.

Yanki01 · 09-08-2006, 04:02 AM

i still dont like em! sorry.

gnherndon · 09-08-2006, 04:21 AM

may i ask why? i wanna know if i should get those are the TYC tail lights first?

magyver · 09-08-2006, 04:26 AM

they still look like the 20,000 pictures from other people posting up their pictures. one thread on these was enough. sorry to be harsh, but the quality is sub-par at best. cutoff is supposed to be LEVEL w/ no hot spots. and throwing HID's in there is gonna be glare city. especaily cause your prolly going w/ the 12000k bulbs right?

they sucked when the first came out, and they still suck. i swear today if it has a halo or altezza in the item name, it MUST be put on the car...

so, in conclusion, not a fan. 1: seen this topic 1000 times b4. 2: unlevel cutoff and 3: hot spot in the beam pattern..

these seem to me to be JDM style/quality..

and clean you garage doors! looks like someone flung poo on there! LOL j/k.. peace

Get the TYCs. You can 'customize' them to your liking. I for instance painted mine red. Looks 100x better!

I have to agree with magyver. These lights are a$$. Just like those tail lights. Its your tC and if you want to cheapen the look of it, then so be it.

SO.....Is are there any Already made Projector headlights for our cars that U personnally like???....Since everybody and their MaMa dislikes the Ebay ones....
Or is Retro-Fit the only way possible???.....Inquiring Minds Wanna Know!!

scootch · 09-08-2006, 06:00 AM

i like them. i've always had a thing for halos.

Yanki01 · 09-08-2006, 12:35 PM

get the TYC tails! if you want projectors, do a retrofit with some real projectors that give a clean cutoff with some color and no hot spots!

oh yeah, your putting 12k HID in there?

expect tickets and alot of flashes!

go to HIDPlanet.com or HIDRetro.com
03' S2k projectors (best projectors and he's a member here on SL)

04' TSX projectors

02' BMW 3 Bi-Xenon projector

02' BMS 3 Bi-Xenon projector (he is also a member here, I believe EddNog?)

those are some real retrofits! :D

JfBriZ03 · 09-08-2006, 01:06 PM

Cant say I didnt expect all the negative feedback. However, I like them, and thats all that really matters.

I ordered the 8000k Mccullough hid kit, so I hope that isnt too rice for everyone. And I hate when everyones solution to having quality projectors is to do a retrofit.
Myself like many others, have no background on how to do a retrofit. I would be too afraid of messing up then having no headlight at all. So we can take what is offered. Until something better is revealed that is sold to the masses, we can only purchase these "sub-par" lights that are available.

Yanki01 · 09-08-2006, 01:19 PM

8k.......too blue!

kdog_1981 · 09-08-2006, 01:29 PM

chill out!

I like them...good job...post the pics with the HIDs when you get them...

how much did you pay for the Halos?

JfBriZ03 · 09-08-2006, 01:58 PM

I got them off ebay for $180. There is only one seller that is selling them for that price, fyi.

Eppopipe · 09-08-2006, 02:18 PM

i got a set of em
ima bake mine and fix the cutoff
but i like the way they look
they just need some modification.

kanundrum · 09-08-2006, 02:50 PM

looks great.

Hsua · 09-08-2006, 03:24 PM

Why doesn't anyone retro fit these headlights? change the projectors, halo's, eyelids and you're set!

I think this would be more expensive then just buying projectors and retrofitting them into factory headlights.

Hsua · 09-08-2006, 05:07 PM

Although that might be true, I'm just worried about effing up my OEM headlight and having to purchase brand new ones (which would cost a lot!) with these I would just get "upgrades" and make them better.

gnherndon · 09-08-2006, 11:21 PM

thanks for all of yalls opinion guys. i think ima go wit the TYC tail lights first and we will see about the projectors.
