yeah they are, they have sonar etched in the lens along with dot and some other stuff. sonar is the company that makes that style. if anyone needs those super nice 7443 5w/25w amber bulbs, autopartshouse on ebay sells em called cycolite brand (no fade, dark orange).

cool. if i can't get my TYC's done up, then i might get a set of those and go with the valeo's. the valeo's are pretty close to the TSX especially with TSX lenses.

well the tyc signal area on mine got burnt (the chrome), and the bulb sockets also were burnt and when i pulled the bulb out the clip broke off. and the way parts are put together, the signal lens and reflector is crooked, and the aiming bolts dont really work like they should imo. other than that they are pretty good. the sonar halogen projector is terrible in comparison, but the light housing was built better imo with all the pieces (turn cover, halo) properly fit. and the sonar uses the stock signal bulb, altho it is a lil loose and should be siliconed in place.

so for halogen use, the TYC is better, but for a retro, the Sonars would be better? right?
