Default Switching from 2010 projectors to 05-07 Halogen Headlights HELP!!!

I have found an AWESOME deal on some 2010 projectors. The guy has a 2010 Scion tc and wants to put the 05-07 headlights in place of the projectors. Is this easy and plug and play or harder than that?
Please let me know ASAP. I really don't want to miss out on this deal !

Sorry. The guy doing this is a complete dumbass. He wants to trade the projectors straight up for the 05-07 ones.
How much are the adapters and how much does it cost. He thinks it's going to be TOO hard, although he knows nothing about it.

I'm only wanting to know what it's going to involved on his part, so i can trade him..

Yes indeed. I called him today and he said that he didn't want to do it anymore because he thought it was a lot of work. i was like alright. I knew it couldn't be too hard.
Yes if somebody could please CONFIRM thats all you need, i might just include it w/ the sale.
Anyways, Thank you for everybody's help!

____ HID Kits. I would rather do it the right way w/ projectors than do it all. I'm so tired of all the people that put cheap ___ HID kits in their halogen housings.
Thanks for the advice though... lol

umm...the 2010 projectors are fine for HIDs...projector housings in general are pretty much made for HIDs. its the old 05-07 headlights that are not made for HID...

anyways, wow 24.99 for that adapter? you might as well spend $10-15 more and get a H11 HID kit...i guess if you dont wanna spend it on a "cheap" kit, you could get something better.

but yes, that adapter, and a set of H11 bulbs is all you will need.

Sorry I'm a complete noob w/ these bulbs and ____.

Yes bro. I know the projectors are made for the HID's. The reflector headlights aren't... Thanks for clarifying.

ohh...he will need an adapter, but the other way around, H11 to 9006 and a 9006 bulb

edit: http://www.innovativewiring.com/Part...tPartsPage.htm scroll all the way down and youll see H11 to 9006, $25
