As someone with the HID and projectors i haven't had any problems other than alignment. No melting or anything like that.

^^^ lol

well like i said, you can choose how to make it light up. it all depends on how you wire it and if you're comfortable changing things around. i still haven't decided if i prefer having the eyebrows lit as parking lights only and the leds/side light as my turn signal.... or making the eyebrows be dark all the time except when used as a turn signal and using the leds as my parking light.

either look will set these lights apart from other tCs at night. and omg, i haven't even begun to consider changing bulb colors....haha

I disagree. Don't get me wrong, that's what drew me to the TC last fall. It looks like a snub-nosed Volvo, but in a bada.ss way:


I started this morning off looking for TC products on eBay since it's payday. I found these headlights, and instantly was all "ooh and ahhh". Four hours later, I've finished reading through this thread...

I remember now why I stopped coming here: there are a lot of elitist a-holes that put everything down, and are just completely unconstructive and unhelpful.

After seeing all of the pics and reading everything that purchasers have posted (and thanks for posting so much info), I've decided to wait for something better to come out.

I have a BSP TC and I think the eyelids on these new lights look way too fat on the darker TCs. Personal preference and all. Also, the first picture I saw in here of these at night made me think of this guy:

And that's not cool.

One potential problem is the hid arc is not properly aligned in the the projector, causing dark spots. Similar results can be seen if you stick a D2S bulb in a MDX projector without trimming the base.. Im sure maximus can chime in on this one.

all i can say is that the lights look better in person than in pix. today i changed up the wiring so that the eyebrows only light as turn signals -- no parking lights at all. the parking lights are the LEDs and the triangle side light. the front of the car now looks lower and the overall face at night is more evil. way better than my initial wiring choice (which was not the "stock" way vertex has it wired... omg, u expect me to do ANYTHING "stock?" lol...)

to each his or her own. i love these lights. who knows when something else will come to market? could be tomorrow, could be months, or could be never....

I agree it does look a little like S40. Plus, that's a bad picture comparison of the TC with the stock headlights. Should have a pic. with those new projector lights.

you can make the eyebrow turn signal be any color; it's just the bulb that makes it amber.

unless you mean the little triangle side-marker light. if thats what you mean, changing the bulb won't help since the reflector itself is yellow. but you have to realize that there MUST be a yellow reflector on the front of the car for DOT approval. not just a yellow bulb -- a yellow reflector. some cars have it as a separate piece, making it easier for people to change.
