Do you like your TYC projectors?
To ppl who have TYC projectors, how do you like your TYC's in terms of light output compared to OEM headlights?
I want to get a set but I wasnt so sure about the quality, I want the light output to be at least at same level as OEM lights.

i had tyc, but i didnt like the design so i went with the sonar halos. but to me, the tyc projector lens is actually very good. the cutoff is pretty clean, has a nice thick blue color, and to me it was much brighter than oem because there were hotspots in front and on both sides which lit up the road better. also the light is visible directly from the bumper forward (no gap like oem). just make sure you aim them, and it doesnt hurt to get a good H1 +50 bulb like osram silverstar or philips VP.

oh no lolz just clear H1 halogen bulbs. much brighter than stock on the ground just not as evenly spread. i could see the sides of the road when it rained which is really good.
awesome did you order yours offebay? I heard tyc recently upgraded the lenses on these headlights, do you have the newer ones?

maybe the sides, look how blurry it is in the middle, and this is also closer to the wall, much closer. from far away it would be like a reflector.

the valeos will look very similar to my setup like this... and no lights are perfectly sealed, they all have some sort of vent or something, and in the winter they will still fog cause when you use the lights it gets warm inside and then when you turn it off the fog forms. but with a good vented setup the fog usually goes away in an hour. depends where you live too.
