I want to get the 8000K/blue HID's but are you guys only getting 2 bulbs for your main headlights or also for your high beams too? I mean wouldnt it look better to have HID's for your high beams too so when u high beam its crazy bright. And also i want to get fog lights and i was wondering if anyone knows if there are blue tint halogen bulbs for the fog lights on sale and where can u buy them to match the 8000k/blue HID's.

Buying HIDs for your high beams is a waste of money. Drive a car with HIDs for low beams, you'll barely ever need your high beams.

I retrofit my after market headlights with a E46 projectors and used a 8000K bulbs




The stock has 3mm LEDs for the halos, I swapped them with superflux. They're twice as bright







This was an incident that another car passed by while I tried to take image. No photoshop. Just though that it's a cool image.

Actually I dont have HID's but when I was taking pictures of my tC tonight and editing them to look right in Photoshop it looks like it does. They are stock lights but looks like 8000k the way I edited the pics.

Nobody use HID for high beam unless you have bi-xenon. Beside, HID needs time to boot up until it actually reach its maxium ouput. When you flash with your highbeam, HID doesn't work too well.

Well, it has its simplicity and it has it difficult. the easy part is that it already has screws on it. Although it doesn't fit the projector, but I just made a custom metal plate to attach them with the projectors. The difficult part is that I have limited space behind the housing to position the projectors. I also have to worry about facing my projectors exactly outside the housing (the halo for low beam). If I can do another retro, I'll do it on the stock.

You know. I think you can get pull over for driving with HID in your halogen housing. tC housing was designed for halogen, unlike g35 and ect. With HID, the tC lamps produce too much glare for the opposing drivers. Although people do not flash at you, but it does blind them. I was driving against another tC with HID and their beams are just too bright, even when you're 10 feet from it. I recommend retrofit or just use halogen.
