you could just throw an H1 in there but it wont look good. THe lenses that come with the tyc's were not designed for HID's, there no as clear and no where near as high quality as oem spec projector lenses.


You need to take a projector from a BMW, AUDI or something and do a proper retro fit

on the brightside I hear TYC's are the perfect headlights for HID retrofits (just not the lenses)

if your not looking to retrofit, H4 plug and play kit in your stock *******

actually throwing in a set of hid's in the TYC projectors aren't that bad. They'll be way better then halogen bulbs which is what you're going for anyways.
If you really want to do them right, you can do what Adam said and retro fit new lenses and etc... but this costs more money and takes up a lot of time.

it will be brighter, but most people either go retro or plug and play. if you just toss the H1's, I dont think you'll have a very good beam pattern or cut off line, however Im not sure but what I am sure is everybody retros its worth it, HIDS are so sexy Ill never go back to halogens.

post up the the lighting forum weather or not its worth putting H1's in your TYCs.

Just keep in mind if you do spend the money on H1's and your not happy with the outcome, you cannot use your H1's to retro fit. So you will either be stuck trying to sell your h1's or stuck with something your not happy with.

I really wish I could find this image I saw once, it was a comparison between a TYC lens, and a real projector lens. The difference was night and day, the TYC was all dirty and not really transparent, while the BMW kit was like looking through someones glasses

you took the words right out of my mouth -

I have delt with xenon depot in the recent past and was more than happy with their product -

Steve (customer service guy) is awesome -

I needed these for a Christmas present for a friend and he got them from Canada to Louisiana overnight!

My friend loves them - and of course it scored me major brownie points -
