looking for the best headlight upgrade for tC's

So I have been pondering back and forth about the whole headlight idea and which way to go...I recently had a set of projector headlights and the beams were awful. I couldnt see a thing with these. So i sold them and put my OEM heads back in and put in a HID kit ever since...I like the view at night, but its just not that good looking during the day...I want to see who thought of the best aftermarket looking headlights, and I wanna see some pics of the daytime and night time pics if possible..

Yea there are no aftermarket headlights that will give you a good cutoff really or that look good to me imo.
The OEM 08s are nice.

retrofit with quality projectors...

put tsx projectors (bought used for $125) on my 08 headlights (bought used $250) ... much better results than popping HID's in halogen poop

they dont look like theyre worth that much cash

lightwerkz.net has waaayyy better ones for literally a third of the price. and those will actually make the output better...

If you want projectors,HIDs,and it done right and to work right and to look right.........then

www.IZNTRBL.com

other than that it is a do it your self or live with 08s with HIDs and a fairly good output,but still not perfect like real HID projectors.
