I still have a few sets in stock currently and should get some more in for stock soon. They are going for $199.00 each with shipping running between $15-25 total depending on where in the country you are. Check page one for the links to our site for purchasing. Let me know if you have any questions.

but according to the tracking numbers...one has left NC while the other says it's still there and both were scanned at different times about an hour apart. i hope they both come at the same time...damn fedex

im ordering my set of 2008 tC projector housings from TRDSparks.com this wednesday (I've ordered a bunch of things from them, great people there, Ken and everyone) .. and im getting an HID kit from Xentec also (talked to William there on the phone, nice guy) hes giving me a modified kit that includes the 9006 plugs and the H11 bulb .. so .. i was just wondering .. whats the final answer on the whole squirrel spotter plate thing .. is leaving it alone .. not modding it worse then bending it down and letting the small amount of light show thru? is that worse glare then not doing anything to it? thereby leaving those small boxes above the cutoff line? cuz i know everyone is saying that ya cant change it after ya bend the flap down .. anyone actually have a comparison shot between the unaltered housing and one that has it bent down? thanks .. my thoughts are just leaving it alone and seein if anyone flashes me too much .. if that happens, i will change it .. but i figure, if no one complains, why change it ..
stayed home all day and waited for the fedex guy, haha
while installing them, i realized the HID's bulbs were mis boxed and got H1's instead of H11...and i didn't realize that until after pulling the bumper and both headlights....dammit
now i still have to wait

well thanks to Jamie and everyone at TRDSparks.com .. got my 2008 projector headlights very quickly .. love the way they look .. hey small question .. it says that the high beam requires an "HB3" bulb .. is that the same as the 9005? hmm .. looks like the 9005 should fit .. and oh yeah .. i did an interesting fix to the whole squirrel spotter flap thing .. i work at an electronics company and we use gold capton high temperature (transparent) tape .. i took the tape, colored it with a sharpy .. smudged it .. (a small amount of light can still pass thru it) then put it in there where the opening is under the flap (bent it up with a screw driver) .. and then bent it back down to the original position .. havent seen what it is gonna look like yet with the HID bulb in there cuz i havent installed anythin yet .. but the my whole intent was to reduce the light output .. not stop it altogether .. ya still need a little bit of light to see the street signs and whatever .. im hoping my mod has good results .. and it seems like your able to atleast mess around in there to try different things .. i didnt wanna bend it down all the way cuz it would prolly be hard to get it back up again unless ya had a special tool .. heh .. well we will see when i get my HID kit (9006 wires and H11 harness/bulb) from Xentec (6000K) .. thanks to Sparks Toyota again .. oh yeah .. shipping was cheap too cuz i had the headlights shipped to my work (commercial) ..
