Rep Power: 0 I had the same problem deciding thatwhen i got my tycs about a year ago. little longer now. Was gonna go the jdm look, but i didnt want to ruin my stock lights incase I wanted to go back to stock, and not pay a ton to get new ones. Then I decided if i was gonna pay for headlights I might as well get something different. So I went with the tycs, like those better than the other style projectors. That was my reason for going with them, and still am glad I did. Look sexy with eyelids.
As for as light output. It is worse, but only slightly. And the Brights on them kick ***. Lights up everything! I would say better than stock brights. So for those times its a little darker than I want, just flip those brights on, and no problem.
Recently i have been considering an HID kit. But most people say they are a waste, and to just retrofit. So Thats my plan, just wait, will be worth it in the end.
Whatever you decide it will look good, I keep considering switching to the JDM look at times. But I'm lazy, and still like what I have.

Rep Power: 260 It all depends on what u want. IMO TYC's with eyebrows Look better than blacked out stock headlights, But the light output is worse. I would rather be able so see the road at night, so i switched back to stock. But whne i get a retrofit, I might go with the tyc's again.
