i can pretty much tell ya cause i used to have them... they're concentrated and shoot lil futher i think then stock... but the beam isnt as WIDE as stock. IMO ... i would get some HID's too... but the projector beam it self looks real nice at night. If you got oem fogs , they pick up the slack.

Weaponx12o is on a distinguished road
chenz is right, the tycs dont cover as much ground as OEM, and the beam isnt straight like OEM either, but they're still great. i have MTEC's in mine

i just bought some tyc projectors, and i'm not sure if i really want them or not. God, they have soo many upsides and downsides. **** i dunno, i'm about half tempted to sell them and just clear out my OEM ones

when i had them the beam pattern was kind of a " W " shape. they were pretty bright, but only in certain spots. plus it could be tricky to adjust and aim them so they shine in the right place.

wish i had pix of how the show on the ground, this is a head on shot tho...

cool, can you change the orange in them, like use a different bulb??
i assume thats a 194 bulb size on the orange one and the others are 7440 or 7443? except for the h1 bulb.

but what exactly does the one in the middle do??

you can change the orange to other colors, but its not a 7440/7443 bulb. i think it might be the 3156/3157 bulb (not sure if thats the right number...but you know what i mean if youve shopped for bulbs). thats the orange bulb currently.

the 194 is the parking light, you can change that to any color also, thats the light above the blinker.

the middle light is the low beams, the ones closer to the grill are the high-beams.
both are h1 i believe.

yea i changed my orange one to blue one time and it looked real gay..

you might wanna just leave it orange, it really isnt that bad..

here's a pic of my tyc's on low beams with stock bulbs all the way around





i also was gonna take shots of them shining on the ground on low beams and high beams but its been raining its *** off here and they all come out looking like shat.

but i can guarantee they are a good investment..

High beams are wonderful..

I get people flashing at me to turn off my high beams when they are really on low beams, and then i show them what im really working with when i flash my high's!
