So i got a fm tc, just got the tyc tails now im lookin for some nice headlights..

There are so many to choose from on ebay, but im not sure what i should be looking for..any suggestions?

Also i really like how the BMW headlights have this bright bright blue tint to them..what kinda lights are those? just HID bulbs?

Any help is appreciated, sorry for sounding like a newb but i really am one lol.

 

Honestly I wouldnt personally recommend the eBay headlights due to the fact that I havent seen one in person, and from what I hear they have horrible cut-offs..... Other than that, the lights with the blue tint are HIDs, probably close to 6000K color.

 

Just be patient and wait for a reputable company like Anzo to come out with their projector headlights. Don't waste yer money on eBay crap. Plus the eBay ones do not use the factory size low beam bulb... its like H1 I believe.

 

^^Agreed.

Wait for a real company to produce them and then get them.

 

i would just mod your stock headlights. bake em apart and tint the sidemarker, paint the bezel body color, and add some dde's heck, if you feel ambitious and have some $$ laying around, retro in some acura TL projectors

 

^^Too much work. I was debating doing that and retrofitting the HID kits in, but then I just realized, "I might as well save up for my Evo since they come with them." Too much time and trouble and possibility of mess up when baking your light. Pretty unsure about putting a headlight in an oven. It would suck if it melted a little or deformed even a little bit from the heat.

 

but the stock headlights look better all fixed up than some aftermarket ones....

 

^^True, but still too much of a pain just for a slight upgrade in looks IMO.

 

HUH? maybe $500 vs. $20k? I'm lost...

 

There's no point in doing all of these upgrades IMO. I have the engine bolt ons and brakes and doing the sways in the spring. But for the overall performance of the car, I wouldn't waste anymore money on it b/c I want to save for a car, Evo, that is worth more and has more total performance and quality. I like my tC, but it's definately just a temp car for me.

 

o ok. That makes more sense. Yeah I like the Evo's and I looked up the value for my car (although I can NEVER trade it into a dealership due to my Lambo's) but I can get a G35 Coupe if I sold my tC now as it is. It would be hard for me, a G35 Coupe or the Evo. I absolutely LOVE them both...

 

I just want the AWD, Turbo and HID stock. The AWD will be so fun in the snow around here.

 

when you say bolt ons, most ppl refer to turbos whcih confused me. and evo's are not quality...performance yes, but not quality. i've got a friend with one and the interior is pretty much just plastic, it's the 4g63 everyone wants! mitsu is going down the drain, but i still love the evo.

 

I want the new skyline coming out...

 

I'm comparing the STI and the Evo. I love the looks and style of the Evo as well as it's performance. The STI has a strong motor and very good all around performance, but their new look is sh*ty. Very ugly front end and curves. If they brought back the 97-98 Rally Sport WRX square body, I would buy that. Until then, Evo would be my pick.

 

It's good you're being honest. I love my tC to death, but like I tell the people who comment on it: "It's no sports car. It's just barely a sport compact."

I'm driving a Volkswagon Jetta this week, and compared to my tC the thing is a MONSTER. A gas-guzzling monster, but still.

The Evo is neat car, but bear in mind, Mitsubishi makes very high maintainance cars. You'll be in and out of the shop all the time. Just FYI. Either way, the higher the performance you have, the more you'll have to maintain it.

 

Yeah, that's true.......I just want something that has the power to get out of it's own way in a hurry without having to spend 5K+ after you buy it. Might as well spend that 5K on the car when you get it in the first place.
