headlights

i was searching around before i bought my TYC projectors and i noticed alot of people complaining about the lighting. well i brought my TYC and i just installed it with my friend yesterday. shiet it was freezing like a mofoker too outside. but i'll do anything for my car, even thou it means freezing mah a$s off. I was happy that it was installed on my car but i was a lil concern about the lighting. so i was waiting for nightime to kick in so i could see if there was a difference. well there was a difference in the light pattern and i tell you what i think its perfect. the light pattern was really awesome, bright and i can see everything on the road. Low beam is great and High beam is bright as a mofoker. did i mention it looks 60 million times better than stock? it looks like my car had a fvcking facelift. LOL. funny thing too is that i have red/clear JDM tailights on my sedan too as well so all these minor exterior mods really makes my car looks unique. some people ask me what year my car is, i tell them 01 and they say, NO WAY!.

im gonna go now

you can't go wrong dude, the light pattern was spreaded very well on the road. they even light up to the extent of where my foglights light up. you know what im saying? i recommend everyone switching to TYC's cuz they are awesome lookwise and performancewise.

btw: i got the chrome projectors. i was thinking maybe those who complaining are the ones who has the black or silver because unlike the chrome TYC's they are plastic. so i think the chrome emits and reflect light more than the black or silver since they are plastic, it doesn't reflect as much?

I'm probably gonna end up getting chrome TYCs too, i cleared my headlights about 3 weeks ago and they keep getting a little fog in the turn signal corners and it pisses me off. After using 1 tube of silicone just to go around the light after it was put together.... and still fog = me pissed off.

When I get some money for my books after this semester the 1rst thing I'm doin is getting tycs.

Well in most case its always the black housing tyc. You will probaly get the newer one which I mean there was a alot of complaints about so I figure TYC company should of fix this problem by now but as for my Tyc it just fog up mad so what i did was seal now its cool thinking about getting the JDM one,

do you think the silver tyc projector would look good on a white coupe? the reason why i want the silver over the chrome is because you can distinguish the projector better in the headlight housing. suggestions plz...

Do you have pics of the lights at night? I was thinking about getting them too but not sure about the lighting. It would be great if you posted a pic. Thanks

She'll tell you that I only like angry rap, aint that right baby... Aesop, Eminem, Tupac and that's about it. Don't listen to them often but once in awhile I get into it.
