    So I'm scouring the internet, dunno what i was searching for and ended up at www.yoursciontc.com and looked into the members there. Of course, i started to look at thier posts and ended up seeing this http://www.ngtechnik.com/HIDs/DuskNi...os-OnlyDay.jpg

    looks to me like a custom retrofit, so i dont think ull find those on any website, ull either have to do it yourself (although i wouldnt attempt that anytime soon) or pay someone to do it, it can get pricey in the 500-1000 dollar range, depending on quality and materials

    The pic you found is a retrofit. Its BMW 3 series projectors with BMW 5 series "angel eyes". There pulled directly from BMW. The site that does this is http://www.hidretro.com/scion.htm

    They charge about $2,000+ to do it. And thats not including them getting the parts, or you going to BMW and buying a pair of headlights, and sending your tC's headlights to them to have it done. It looks absolutly incredible when there done, but you gotta be willing to pay the piper. You might be better off going with something like this

    Look up "Scion tC Halo Projector Headlights" on Ebay, and they have some pretty SWEET halo projectors for tC's... I'm bidding on a set of those, plus a set of 'Halo-type' Tail Lights that have LED turn signals built in...

    Ideas on Ebay (they were relisted, so bear with me...lol) -

    Yeah, those look pretty nice. You see, i like the predator eyes look. The one you showed on eBay is nice too, really. I like em' both. I already bought the predator eyes from RageHalo.

    ALSO, don't forget that your headlights DON'T have reflectors (yellow) I believe and can get you pulled over with a nice fix-it ticket. Those pigs are gonna be a pain. If you get em', fix em' so you don't have to waste time and extra money down the road. If i'm wrong, please correct me everyone (about the reflectors).

    You could always get a can of the NiteLites, too, to spray on them. It's a reflectant spray you can get at AutoZone or somewhere like that.

    VHT nightshade acctually looks good, at least on taillights, and when done right, looks sleek and shiny, i dont know about the headlights though, you would really be reducing the light output, and aftermarket projectors already have that problem, so you would only be making it worse!

    Only put that stuff on the tail lights man... buy the projector headlights. Hahaha... oh man, I think I'm gonna put in yellow headlights just to see what everyone says! I had 'em in the miata and I liked 'em. I don't know that they'd go well with the tC though.

    Unfourtunitly theres no good way to "do it right". The 08 tCs headlamps look like 3 seperate pieces in a housing, dont look right. Im not a fan of the LED things on the bottom though.

    Projector for low beam for a HID conversion. I Like it.
    Angel Eyes- May be a BMW thing, but damn can they look good.

    Its just a depend on where you wanna take the car, and personal taste. For me, i wouldnt mind it.

    I'm not personally fond of the angel eyes, but yes...they do look pretty slick! I took a deeper look at the Halo-Projectors I want from Ebay, and if you look where the usual Amber Reflector is, you can insert an amber bulb behind the clear part where the stock opening is... Either that, or my computer is stupid...
