TYC projectors are the best quality aftermarket headlights to choose from. Go with the TYCs

injencivic is a glorious beacon of light

I would say get the TYC projectors, due to the fact they are street legal and that they are better then any other aftermarket projectors.

Plus theres always the HID conversion Kits for $5000

From what I hear, if you want to retain nighttime visibility, stay with stock...

I've had mine for over a year now and no visibility issues since.. Those who complain did not aim them properly IMO.

i have the halo, and it is definetly dimmer, it uses Dual H1's. im switching the h1s for an HID kit, so its going to be way brighter than stock, halo or not. so if you get the Halo, get an HID kit.

Has anyone tried both TYC and Halo projectors? I have the Halo projectors, currently with 100w h1 blue tint bulbs. They are soooo dim. Dont get me wrong I love the way the halo lights look during the day and everything. But, is TYC projectors really a lot brighter? Only when I go through like pitch black streets do the lights really work, but besides that, you wouldnt even think they're on sometimes. So, anyone who has tried both tyc and halo projectors, can you please tell me what you think gives better light output.
