You can buy bi-xenon HIDs. Check out one of the Sponsored Sales threads here:

Just to let you know, '08 projectors are NOT made for HIDs, they are halogen projectors. So if you want the high-end (BMW, Mercedes) cut-off and function then look into doing a retrofit.

 

^^ lol. Searching FTW!

 

1. H11
2. No, you would need a 9005 kit for the high beam, unless you do the bi-xenon like mentioned above. They are crazy expensive.
3. No.
4. MobileHID
5. If you don't choose MobileHid (which would be dumb) make sure your kit has a relay and an inline fuse. Any company that tells you otherwise just wants your money. There is a chance you can fry your wiring without those two things.

 

^ what he said.....

BTW i have 8000k on my 08 and it looks good.....i love it

 

I have 6000k and I couldn't be happier with them.

 

OEM HID projector swap ftmfw!

 

there is really no major difference

 

1) The 2008 Tc uses a H11 for the low beam and a 9005 for the high beam.
2) You will need two separate kits for the high and low.
3) It will come with the PNP wires but I recommend that you buy a relay harness.
4) Check out mengmotorsports.com or try ddmtuning.com
5) They are super easy to install and with the stock projectors they will have less glare.

I would personally get the 4300K but if you want some color get the 6000K.
