Do you need projectors to run HIDs? I was just wondering because i like the stock housing of the 04 - 07 models and im planning on getting some 6000K HIDs. Do i need projectors if im getting these HIDs without getting pulled over due to the glare using the stock housing or whats up?

 

OMFG....SEARCH and get yours years right!

 

Wow...someone is having a good day.

To the original poster. You don't need projectors to run HIDs. HIDs come with a bulb and ballast, and the good kits come with a harness to reduce load on the stock harness. Very important safety measure if you ask me. I have the 6000K in mine and havn't been flashed once. However you do need to make sure the cut off line is not too high b/c then it will be in oncoming drivers eyes. It is illegal but I have yet to hear of anyone that got pulled over b/c of it when they are set up correctly.

Here is a link to the a guy selling the kit I got for 140 shipped. Includes bulbs, ballast, and harness and 1 yr warranty. Complete plug and play. If you have a problem with the kit upon arrival then he takes care of you ;) He's an awesome guy and seller.

You have a tC so no need for the bi-xenon kit. You just need the single for the low beams, you can do highs as well with another kit but I never use my highs out here so it would be a waste for me.

 

Yeah, Yanki01, settle down a little, this question is legit.

 

get my years right?....i have a 07 which i got last december and the headlight housing is all the same from the later years. plus i did do a search and the search options sucks because it never finds what your looking for.

 

He's saying to get them right b/c the tC has only been out from 05-08. The lights are the same on 05-07 and then 08s got projectors, no biggie really. You live and learn and learning is so much fun :D

 

indeed, i love mondays! However, these threads come along about 3 a day. Simple search for "HID's" and im sure within the first couple of threads you can have your answer. Or even check out the sticky. Its a sticky for a reason. Search next time before you post.

/rant!

 

BTW, Intel Core Duo processors FTW! :D

 

no...Cell processor and AMD Phenom quad cores FTMFW

The day Intel makes a decent proc without a cloud of BS will be the same day that Ford makes a decent running car and consequently the same day Hell will freeze over. Hmm what are the odds
