to install headlights on the tc u need to first remove the front bumper cover. there are four clips on the top (remove with a flathead screwdriver) four screws on the side inside the fender and bout 6 more on the bottom. once u get all the screws and clips off pull the bumper cover towards u on each corner (it held on by a slight L-shaped clip. once u get both side undone the bumper will come straight off. the headlights are held on by 3 bolts (2 on top and one on the side where the L-shaped bracket is on the fenders) and is clipped on towards the middle. you'll see what i mean once u get to this point. stick a flathead inside the clip and pry the tab out. at that point just do the reverse of installation to put everything back. i hope this helps. sorry i have no pictures.

most of all the aftermarket headlights are just plug and play. it plugs directly into the stock plugs. the only thing with the ones u have there is that i heard it doesn't fit too well and people ended up needing to bend the metal or cut it directly where the top of the headlight goes.

I think before I installed those I would run a small bead of silicone around the seal. A couple people have reported them fogging up after a little while.

Then again, I wouldn't have bought them at all, but if I had... that's what I'd do.

Just take it to a shop if you are not confident, they'll charge you like $50 bucks. Give them the finger if they ask for more.

To remove the bumper... http://www.club-tc.com/forums/exteri...r-removal.html

To remove the headlights... http://www.club-tc.com/forums/exteri...t-removal.html

Then reverse everything to put it back together. This was the guide I used the first time and it worked perfectly. Good luck.

you have to get some connectors for those wires sticking out. This post should tell you how since the headlights are probably similar. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...jector+install
