Are any of these parts stock?
I recently purchased a 2005 tC and am looking for some information about it. There aren't too many other tC's in my area that I've seen on the road, but the ones that I have seen usually have different headlights/tail lights. I was wondering if mine are simply of an older stock variety or if they have been changed. I'm also curious if my rims/tires are stock. Thanks!

exactly what trdscion said.
Oh wait but that orange badge in the back isnt stock!
But yeah, those headlights are 05-07, you can tell by the blinker being triangular. 08+ moves on to round blinkers. Also the person added projectors to the headlights, which only becomes a luxary past 2008 as well. So even though the headlights arent stock, I'd say go for it still. Projectors are great in the sense that you can see really far away and arent blinding oncoming traffic because the light is focused (I bought 08 headlights with HID's from a friend and the difference from my 07 headlights is incredible at night).

Those aren't stock headlights. Those are Ebay headlights.

Out of curiosity, why do you feel the need to keep saying how terrible they are? Let's remember that this is my car, not some spare part that we're discussing the practicality of. All I asked was a simple question- are they stock or not. You've made yourself clear that they are not- and per your standards they are sub-par. I happen to like them.

He probrably keeps telling you how bad they are because they are just that, poor quality. The LEDs tend to burn out and the cutoffs of the projectors are terrible.
I'm glad you like them, because it is your car, but seeing as you didn't even know what they were, I'd listen to testa.
Personally, I'd never run them, I traded up to 08 Headlights to get OEM quality.

he keeps saying there horribe bc well there HORRIBLE. youll eventually come to find out the led's will die out on you, condensation in the headlights and horrible ____ty cutoff/projectors. not to mention how absolutely hideous they look.
