Search is a popular feature here. But the absolute best option is a retrofit. IMO all of the aftermarket projector headlights are crap. The LED's and halo rings burn out and they look really cheap. You could always get an HID kit and plug that into your stock housing but then you gotta deal with blinding other people on the road.

Yeah, but buying aftermarket projector headlights isn't going to make HID's look any better. I bet all of the afermarket projector headlights made for the TC were designed to be used in conjunction with halogen bulbs, just like stock, so if you put true hids in aftermarket projectors, you'd get just as many hot spots that would blind other drivers, if not more.
