Default Head lights and tail lights

Hey guys,

I am wanting to change my heads and tails, but I am not sure what to do. I have been searching and cannot find many recent posts with many relevent pics/opinions.

First of all, how easy is it to install both head lights and tail lights? I do not want to have to do any wire surgery, I am just hoping it will be plug and play.

Currently I have razo bulbs for my stock headlights and I want to get a nice new set. I am confused to what the difference between angel eyes and projector headlights are or are they the same? I want bright headlights that will look blueish white. What do I need to know about reliability or difference between all the head lights I see online? .

I am also hoping to get the VRD fog lights, and I would want the head light bulbs to match the fogs (I hope that doesnt make it more complicated!)

Any advice is helpful! Thanks!

only headlights out for the tC that look decent looking to put on our car without looking out of place and whatnot is the 2008 headlights. As for the tails, its either stock or TYC that would look good. Sounds like you also want HIDs for that blue/white tint. Dont go over 6k or it starts getting really blue and you'll loose output.

Theres also Feint Lighting for the tails. Also, get 6000k bulbs for both the headlights and fogs. The bulb type is 9006 for 05-07 headlights isnt it? What was it for 08, H3?

cool, so how about ease of installing new head lights and tail lights? Does it use the same wire harness as the stock ones? No additional wiring needed correct?

dont know, alot of confusion i think. Many people getting screwed by them. I cant even find their website anymore?

The tails are a direct swap, the 2008 headlights have a different low beam (h11 other than 9006).
