NONE.

If ANYTHING, get the 08's, or do a retrofit

'08's are probably the most reasonable choice.

If I get the 08, will any of the HID kits available on the forum fit?

08 head lights go cheap on trdsparks.com

its 195 a side and 400 shipped for left and right.

im serious though thats the best fitment u will ever get and the best cut off out of the ebay ones...

the only thing bad about the 08's is that u will have to buy the wire harness and H11 bulbs.

im assuming your tc is an 07 and below right?

the bulbs on your tc right now are 9006 so your harness will not fit the 08 headlights.

Damn, I didn't know this will require a new wiring harness. Exactly what I need to buy.

I am not clear about what you said "the best cut off out of the ebay ones".

if you get HIDs you wont need a new wiring harness

Order from cliff @ mobilehid, and tell him you have 9006 for your headlights but that you need H11 bulbs, and then you will have working headlights (and I know cliff can do that, you just need to specifically tell him)

Im late on a reply but getting the 08's is the best way to go. You get a real setup that you know will fit 100% and not have water issues. Like these guys are saying, you need a diff harness. What we are missing out of theis thread is a listing of what sellers/webpages are giving good kits at cheap prices. For the past few years I have seen the kits drop in price by atleast 100.00 less then what I paid.

retrofit w/ s2000s or TSX on the 08 headlight is nice + keeps the OEM look.

I know they "are" OEM but with a retro you keep the look stock while not changing much besides adding OEM projectors to enhance the output and color flicker while not blinding others. 08s are great for retros 'cus the retro is hidden behind the stock looking lights giving you an OEM look and not a custom looking setup.

HID retro FTW!

retros cost nearly about 600-800 dallors when u can buy the 08 for 400.

and what i mean is the cut off from the oem 08 headlights and way way better than the cut off on the anzo or ebay ones

OEM is the way to go. Much better quality control.
