The headlight housing posted above does NOT fit the standard bulb that comes with the tC. It has an odd type I have never seen before 0o. These projectors also state on the housings NOT FOR USE WITH HID....but I made em work anyway
.
The lights themselves work great and the fitament is really well
No drilling or anything to make them fit in, all holes line up correctly and the lights look great....couple comments about them looking like snake eyes haha. The cutoff is good as well!
Bottom line: you like the way they look than go for it, just remember you will have to do some 'modification' (mine included epoxy, and its not a perfect seal) to use your HIDs if they are already bought and installed with your stock housings.

Yeah....my OEM were in bad shape 
bought the car used and the person before me didnt know how to take care of a car . So far no melting or any other such issues....just not a seal in the housings...so i get that wonderful water buildup in em
But they still look nice at night

Yeah i figure they will melt at some time, but i got super tired of people flashing me checkin my brights
Im not going to start flaming but when an item says it will fit the car, I expected it to be a direct replacement of the housings, not all the bulbs. Basically the bulb is common in our car, so they do make projector housings for them. I just find it odd that they would make them for a whole different type of bulb.
