I just installed my 5000k kit in my 08 projectors yesterday. Mos def brighter. When you have them on it's like you have your brights on. When you have them and your brights on it seems like it's mid day.

About them not being as bright as you expected, make sure they are seated inside the headlamp housing all the way. Also, remember that they are in projectors, the light does not scatter as much as it would in a reflective housing. The light is more focused.

About the harness, it will be fine, this is how we've done it and no problems have occurred in over the 2 years we've been doing it.

The 2008 tC uses an H11 for the low beam, 9005 for the high beam and a 9006 for the factory fog lights. But most people tend to go with the VRDs which use an H3.

The O-Ring issue, we've had a few rare occurrences lately of that. If you want to have the O-Ring on your HIDs, wear a rubber glove, take the rubber O-Ring off of your old halogen bulbs and swap them onto the HIDs. And keep enjoying the HIDs partner =)

I'd like to know that too, but I have read in many posts that ANY HID conversion from halogen is illegal, at least in California. But as long as you get nothing to fancy like a red or something, I don't think cops will pay attention to you. Even knowing this I will get one anyway, just need to save some money.

Default bluish look

I would like to know if with the 4,300K kit you get that blueish look if you look at the headlight from an angle, in projector housing? Because I would like to get the brightest possible, but want it to look good too, if not I will just get the 6,000K kit.

You'd have to check local laws. They are becoming more lenient about putting HIDs into cars. Usually though you would have to have them in a certified DOT projector. But otherwise they are illegal. But that is like most things we do to our cars.

But cops usually don't pay any mind to you with 4300k-8000k

4300k is more of a pure white. If you want that bluish tint look, you would want a 6000k.
