Yep, I agree Just1n - that's a hot tC. That leather kit worked out really nicely. It's cool how it brings out the luxury aspect of the ride that helps compliment the sportiness.
Nola's also got a rock band. Check them out here:

rvpps2rocks - the bulbs and ballasts are designed to last approximately 3,000 or more hours. The "lifetime warranty" covers this period of time which is approximately 3 years at 3 hours of run time per day and is only offered to ScionLife customers.
In ideal conditions where the relays and fuses aren't subjected to the elements, they too will last a very long time however due to the various ways the harness can be mounted or exposed to the elements, they are not covered since when exposed to water they can corrode and fail like any other piece of electrical gadgetry.
But eh, I always happen to have a spare relay or fuse sitting around so if you ever need one in the future, I'm more than willing to ship one out as long as you cover the shipping.
For example Just1n's xB is on a bagged setup where the splash guards were removed to achieve the "UNBELIEVABLY SLAMMED" status and when the splash guards were removed the relay was exposed and suffered from corrosion. I swapped out his relay and he was up and running again.
jsingh - yes, you need an H11 kit for your tC. for a reference on mounting the ballasts when you do your install - check out the images below for an install I did on an 08 tC.

Cifford didnt just give me a new relay. He drove out to meet me and hooked me up. As explained above my install location wasnt the best due to extensive mods but I moved it to a better location by the battery and no problems ever since.
Cifford, I want to buy my brother a kit for his F-150(H11 I believe). Everyone should run HIDs cuz halogens suck *****.

Hey, I got the kit today, and installed it, looks great. Just kinda confused on the big bundle of wires, the relay and fuse, does it just sit there, or is there a spot in the fuse box for them, how does that work. Sorry if thats a stupid question, didn't see anything on here about the wiring. Really easy to install, hardest part is figuring out a good stealth location for the ballasts, I think img oing to take off the bumper and hide them when i have time, but as for now, Im just amused at how amazing these things look even in non-projector headlights

just1n - i aim to please man.
spottedcow - the harness just sits there, I suggest tucking it out of the way so it's shielded from errant rain water.
i got some pics of the "pull me over blue" bulbs, just haven't had a chance to pull the off the camera but boy oh boy I'm glad i didn't drive around with them on. haha

. As long as they don't get damage or make noise, I'm happy.

yeah, those LEDs can be used in the headlights as parking lights, but dont expect them to last too long.
the heat will usually burn them out within a few hours. (this is with halogens 50w) Im not sure about HIDS?

so 4300K is what most nice car brands (lexus, bmw, cadillac) use right?
- does anyone have pics of light output on 5000K?
- it doesn't have too much blue in it does it?
- do these HID kits have a long startup? when is the final color achieved after startup?
thanks!
