You MUST get projector lights with proper cut-offs BEFORE getting HIDs.
You CANNOT put HIDs in the stock reflector housing because it has no cut-off for the HID, so it kills other drivers.
DDMTuning.com, although I don't know how much stuff they have for tis.

Ti's and sedans have the same headlights and taillights.

I can believe the headlights are the same, but no way the taillights are.
Watch me go check realoem.com and get owned.

Rears are not the same- ti do however have the same rears as a touring- thats the only other car that shares the lights...
Iv never seen anyone selling LED rears for a Ti- the only non stock (other then just smoked or really crappy M style ones) iv seen are some really really nasty lexus style and if you buy them I will hurt you :)
Also really do steer clear of fake non oem rear lights if going for the m red and whites as most of them are 50/50 and genuines are about 75%red and 25% white so the white goes in line with the crease on the body work- if that makes any sense!!

Infairness they do look ok on that site :) I take my previous post back! At least that company bothered to look at the OEM rear lights and get it right :)
