*edit* whoops didn't see it's H11. but still a i wouldn't buy a 50$ kit.
1. it's an ebay kit.
2. uhhh unless u have special edition tC that uses a 9003 or H4 or H1 bulb....
to answer ur last question, hids and halo projectors are different things.

those look alright but make sure you have the right size bulb (9006)... be wary of anything on ebay of course. don't go 10k.. it's way too illegal and you're bound to end up pulled over by a police officer.. i'd recommend no higher that 8k

he might be a 08, which uses H11s. and yeah, cops already get all excited w/ 8000k.

10,000k isn't going to be blue
if you want pure blue, then its 8,000k,
if you want pure white with a hint of blue, then 6,000k

installation of hid kits are very easy. its honestly, just plug and play. hardest part for me was to find a place to bolt up my ballast. just plug things into whatever fits, and it'll work.

i would have to agree. installation takes me less then 30 minutes when i install kits for my friends. make sure you get a kit that has a relay harness. dont think you wanna fry your OEM harness.

So it is easy? Hmm thats good to know. Im srry but , there is no baking the headlight required right? Just to change to HID. And wat are ballasts used for? So it doesnt use up the Battery too much? And What do you guys think about Mobile HID.com? So ill need a new harness?

i'm not sure what ballasts actually do, but i know they make a high pitched weeeeeee sound when its on. mobile hid is awesome, i've bought 3 kits from them, and installed all of them. the kit comes with a harness, ballast, and a bulb of your choice.

Sorry to intrude. But, I just Install 8000k HID Kit in my Box. They are Great! I can see 3x further to spot Road Hazards.

This shot was during the day. A bit of warning the 8000k are quite Blue.
10,000K is Deep Blue. You don't want that. The cops can hit you with trying to Impersonate a Police Officer.
The 12,000k is Purple. The 14,000k is Deep Purple and does not offer enough lumens. The Lumens drop off the higher you go.
As a guage Bimmers, Mercedes, Lexus have 4300k as factory HIDS. It is White.
5000k is Brighter White. 6000K is White-Blue. 8000k is Blue. If I get hit with a ticket, I will have to just get 5000k or 6000k bulbs.
You get 2 ballasts. They fire up the HIDS. One in each fender. 'Baking Headlights' is 1 of the methods to Clear Corners from 1st gen Boxes.
That is to Remove the Amber lens reflector from the headlights. Don't know about TCs. You need a Vendor that supply a relay harness
or risk frying your OEM harness. I went with MobileHID. Cliff is a Sponsor seller and will give SL members a discount.

Hope the Info Helps,
