TYC projectors yay or nay?
TYC projectors yay or nay?
recently my driver side head lamp fogged up with moisture so i figured it would probably be cheaper to buy a set of TYC black projectors off ebay than to go buy a single head lamp at honda. has anyone had any problems w/ their tycs? im sure this topic and been discussed many times, but i had to post because no search came up. also is there any modifications that need to be done or is it strictly oem fitment?

It'd probably be cheaper for you to open up your headlights and reseal them properly.
My TYCs were oem fitment, no problems whatsoever installing. However, after a good while, a spider decided to make a home in my driver side. And then again being mentioned by another owner, I started noticing fogging happening after rainy days and running them for long periods. The fogging doesn't stay, but others have original sealant issues. *IF* you buy the TYCs, I'd suggest running an extra bead of silicone around the edges. But I would suggest you go the cheaper route of resealing your own headlights first.
