    Default Most Recommended TRD parts / Fog lights

    So i just found out a good friend of my got a job with Toyota and can get TRD parts at warehouse cost so i was just curious other then the TRD exhaust which everyone says is good is there any other performance part that TRD puts out that is highly recommended? also i was going to buy the OEM head lights but i remember reading that they werent to good. so im just curious if anyone had a good set of head lights and fog lights they can recommend.

    Sure, a lot of the TRD parts are actually very top quality. The TRD springs and strut combo is actually very popular and we know a few TC's that actually autox their TC with that setup. Its still soft enough for a comfortable ride. The OEM headlights should actually be the best quality ones out there. Most aftermarket lamps for the tC aren't as good and usually have poor fitment. The 08+ projectors are your best bet.

    If you have the 2nd gen tC then I'm not too sure if there are any new lamps out there.

    I was in an accident a while ago, and the shop put halos on for me at no extra cost. I thought that I had scored big. Wrong. Aftermarket headlights blow. They're cheap, break, and I all I want is a set of OEM 08 projectors.

    They look nice when they are new, give them time they will fade out or blow. Get a nice set of HID's or headlights off of a newer Scion tC.

    Yep, aftermarkets literally blow. I have halos on one side and epileptic 3 LEDs (out of 6) on the other side. The projectors also are not lensed correctly. The OEM reflectors on my other tC light the road better HIDs or bulbs. The '08-10 projectors are your best bet. Mengsta can get you a real set of the VRD fogs. Besides the OEM, these are your best bet. Be wary of knock-offs on Ebay and such. Chinese crap.
