any1 know when the projector headlamps will drop out for the tC??? can't wait till i get my hands on those!!!

 

No one makes them. You can get a retrofit set though from www.hidretro.com. About the best you can find right now.

 

i think one company makes them but i forgot who they were and the headlamps cost a lot

 

clearcorners.com

 

So essentially nobody makes them. I've been looking for a long time and so have other people - you'd see posts if they exists. I don't count the hidretro or clearcorners stuff as they're both retrofits and they both cost a ton of money - the clearcorners ones are well over a grand and a custom retro runs something like 7 or 800 bucks. I somehow doubt that's what you're looking for. I know it sure isn't what I want to pay.

 

same here.

 

no way!!! im not paying that much for non-original made. the xb i know for sure has them alot selling on ebay? but still havent heard n e thing about the tC projectors. i wouldnt need the H.I.D. kit if i get projectors, they should be just fine!! if they come out soon or else i will move to H.I.D.

 

The xB was released for at least a year and probably a few years in Japan as the bB before we got it, hence all the parts. I do have to say though, I think most of those projectors are somewhat low quality and built for halogen headlights - projectors are really nice for HID, but the thing that really matters is that they're projectors BUILT FOR HID. I'm not going to even get into the whole HID without projectors thing again. Remember - on it's own, projector housings on your stock lights aren't going to make the light much better at all. What they do is A) look cool and B) give you the ability to correctly focus HIDs behind them, but only if they're the right projectors in the first place. I'd expect legitimate aftermarket projectors for the tC to cost about 300-400 if they were mass produced.

 

doesn't franken have the real deal, with halos?....retrofitted beemer ones?...i might be mistaken.

 

clearcorners are just angel eyes and leds...no projectors last time i looked

 

ok am i retarded or something??

wasnt there a company selling TC retrofit BMW projector head lights for lik 500 or seomthing?

i swear i saw it on this forum about 1-2 monthes ago

 

www.hidretro.com sells the BMW retrofit ones (even choices of 3 series with or without angel eyes or even 5 series) ... but they're certainly not $500.

 

Yeah more like $1350 that's whaty I was quoted. What a joke

 

are H.I.D.'s worth it? where did yall get them from? was the installitation kit easy? and how much??? do they compare to the Lexus' and BMWs? post some pics

 

HIDs in proper housings are DEFINITELY worth it. Once you drive with them you'll never want to go back. The amount and color of light they put out is amazing - it's like driving in the daylight. Now having said that, incorrectly mounted HIDs are illegal and stupid - you're blinding everyone and getting lower quality light out of the whole deal. The quality problem isn't that bad - I'd just do it if it wasn't for the blinding everyone else problem, and before we have this debate again (which we've had a million times) just know that it's not only my opinion but that of most everyone who is serious about HID. So about your other questions - with projectors, they do compare to Lexus or BMW - but the only people that have them are those that got retros, and there are only a couple of them - maybe one will post pics.

 

Exactly. Please note the highlighted area.

Stock tC Housings != Proper Housings
