I work at a body shop and I use TYC when I can. They are the best aftermarket HL supplier.
Pros: best aftermarket supplier
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
I have some tyc headlights on my 09 chevy colorado and they seem fine. The headlights are almost 2 years old and they still look brand new
Pros: look brand new, 2 years old
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Colorado
I've had good luck with the TYC branded headlights too.
Pros: good reliability
I went with the TYC brand from Rock Auto, which costs about 1/2 of the price of the VW kit. Quality seemed good enough--I have used the TYC brand on two other VWs.
Pros: good enough quality
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I got all my lenses from Rock Auto. They look great and the tyc headlights came with new bulbs.
Pros: look great, came with new bulbs
Vehicle:
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Bought new alternator TYC from rockauto. with a volt meter, I checked for voltage at the alternator B+. it charges at 14.2 when reved to 3000 rpm then it gets to idle, it remains at 14.2.
Pros: charges at 14.2 when reved
Vehicle:
Chevrolet HHR
TYC is perfectly acceptable. I will say I have used TYC stuff in other applications where the connectors felt a little cheaper than the Hella OE, and the fit was not quite 100%
Pros: perfectly acceptable
Cons: cheaper connectors, fit not 100%
In my experience the TYC headlights I've used have been pretty bad. Beam pattern is scattered all over the place and fit and finish is sub par.
Cons: bad beam pattern, sub par fit/finish
Just got my Honda Odyssey out of the body shop after an accident and they replaced my left headlight with aftermarket (TYC) brand. For context, the vehicle has factory auto leveling HIDs. The cutoff is not as sharp as the OE and the peripheral beam pattern has a lot of hot spots.
Cons: cutoff not sharp, hot spots in beam
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
