Well,
im glad i found this thread before i posted. I have a 2010 tc and got some free brand new HID's. I was trying to read up how they looked with the stock projectors though. Dont want to be blinding any people. I hate it when it happens to me.

Alrighty guys, im having a bit of a problem. I have a set of HID's from MobileHID. At the time when i bought it ( 2008 ), they were one of the best out?
Anyways the problem i've been having for a quite a while is that once a night, at least, one of the lights will go off. What i mean is that sometimes when i try to turn them on, the left one sometimes wont turn on until i turn them off then back on again. OR sometimes when i am driving either the left or right will go off, usually the left. So what i did was email clifford and he sent me another set of ballast. I swapped them out and im still have the same problem. This has been an ongoing problem for the past year and half...
Anybody know what could be the problem? im running 8k with the relay harness. Im thinking maybe its the bulbs? or the relay? or maybe i just need to replace the whole kit?

Hey Guys I had A quick Question? I was actually going to go all in and start the retro fit process on my 07 and i was wondering if the 08-10 model headlights would fit and if i would have to re wire the conections?
I have the MobileHID kit as well and mine now (with the cold weather I presume) does not turn on AT ALL. Even after parking my car in my heated garage over night doesn't "fix" the problem....Hm...Not sure what to do as MobileHID no longer sells car kits but just kits for tractors LOL
I installed 08 tc headlight into my 06 tc. All the wires and bulbs fit beside the low beam. I don't need any harness because i installed HID with relay. It gets the power from the battery.
I'm tired of all the crappy HID kits out on the market. And the bad customer service. I trust theretrofitsource.
i got my DDM kit within a week. I guess i was lucky, because few days later, they took off the hid on the website.
I deal with HIDextra before. i had a bad bulb, took them about a week to replace it.

That is exactly my nest question ive been doing allot of research with that company and that was why i asked about the projector from the 08. They make a kit for the 08 and thats why i asked if i should just get the mini bi-xenon kit and retro fit my 07 headlights.
the difference between those 08 and 07 kit are just the bulbs socket size. I have interchange different brand of HID before. TC's headlight are not bi xenon. I don't think any one retro fit a bi xenon into a tc before. Few people use TSX or S2000 projectors for their retro fit low beam. I don't have the skill nor the money for it.
