yes your light will not be shattered because of the projectors. 5000k's will most likely not give you any problems with inspections.

You'll be fine. I've got the MobileHID 5000k kit in my '07. Not projectors, but still stock headlights. No problems. My personal opinion, 5000k is the perfect temp. Not to blue, but not pure white. Bright as hell too.

Just take time to install them. Remove the front bumper and mount the relay and ballasts under the bumper cover. It'll hide the wires and make the engine bay look clean.

Good luck!

For headlights I would get the relay harness. You don't want to even risk the chance of the headlight harness burning.

For foglights I wouldn't get it.

I would purchase them from HID Extra...you can't beat the $60 price. I bought both pairs of my foglights from him. They come quick and only takes about 20 minutes to put them in.

I have the '06 TC and changed my reflectors to the oem projectors and got rid of the squirrel spotter. I have the 5000k mobilehid kit and the cutoff is pretty good now knowing that its a halogen projector. Let me know if you want some pics.

Another thing I want to mention is that with those HIDs and the projectos, you can't really tell its not stock, especially during the daytime. I passed my inspection with my HIDs! Don't need to worry about 5000k. If you go 8000k, then you should start worrying.
