so i have to vent once again.

when is someone gonna drop a quality product for the tc's as far as headlight and headlight mods.

umnitza halos: stupid expensive
ragehalos: both sets ive gotten have burnt leds
oznium halos: havnt personally seen it but apparently there is fitment issues

headlights

vrd: rings and leds going out
anzo: leds and rings going out

can someone please make a quality upgraded headlight or headlight add on thats not gonna foul out in a month. im tired of baking my headlights apart!!

 

you seen the 08 ones?

 

UGLY!

 

I agree on the ugly sentiment... and the projectors probably won't be worth jack anyways... since pretty much anyone will want to put HIDs in them and they really aren't designed for them, so they'll probably suck.

 

problem might be with those aftermarket projectors is that the halo might be smaller from the ones your going to buy from either umnitza or whoever? I think the Umnitza angel eyes are made for the stock housing ring not the aftermarket projector ring which is smaller and goes right around the projector? I hope you get what i mean?

 

I could give two craps about halos if it's just a simple, clean looking headlight with a quality projector. I don't understand why Anzo thinks they need to make them "flashy" and different... they're disgusting.

 

no idea what you mean. i have stock headlights. ive seen the aftermarket headlights. though they are "alright" looking they are made extremely cheap.

the add on rings ive seen are made for factory housings and those were the ones i was commenting on.

 

just do modifications to the stock ones

 

i did and once again they have blown out.

 

iono.. I"m kinda really liking the 08 headlights...

 

*edit that* i thought you were talking about buying them and redoing the halos. Forgive me, long day!


Well if this is the last year of the tC i would say dont get your hopes up. Umnitza is taking wayy too long with theirs so im not expecting anything from them. I did a retro and just sold it cause i got tired of the problems. good luck.

 

Not really something I'm interested in doing. I probably could do it if I wanted to, but there's no real reason why someone can't make something decent.

 

The Oznium halos fit a little too tight for the big rings but fits just right if properly installed. Just be very careful.

As for the headlight manufactures, I think they really make it not of high quality so that when it fails, consumers will be forced to buy another set. That is if the consumer is so hooked up on their product and still doesn't realize its crappiness. (If there is such word)

 

When designed right, LEDs in headlights CAN be made to look awesome. Just check out the Audi R8 or the Audi A5/S5.

 

Just make your Own Cool headlights!...I did it was pretty easy!!...
I painted the Eyebrow, Front turn Signal, Did a custom Amber Reflector thing...

 

I like!

 

wouldnt painting the amber reflector and changing out to a clear corner be the same thing? if u matched the paint to the headlight housing it would look like a clear corner correct?

 

I don't think they look the same...

 

i did customize my headlights. i used the rage halos. and for the 2nd time another led has gone out. now these are fully sealed headlights. no moisture, nothing. im tired of pulling them apart.

 

^ Those look like they have a nice light (when they work) except I don't like how they aren't actually a circle. I know that's partly b/c of the design of our housings... but I wouldn't bother unless I got a full "halo."
