I’ve got TYC headlights on my V50. It all works and fits but the quality is definitely lower than oem, but it works and its a lot cheaper so its worth it if you are on a budget. Would go oem next time though
Pros: works, fits, cheaper
Cons: lower quality than OEM
Vehicle:
Volvo V50
I believe I have these on my S70 and they've lasted several years now with no visible clouding or any issues whatsoever. Good buy imo.
Pros: lasted several years, no clouding, no issues
Vehicle:
Volvo S70
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%
Don't get TYC. My beam pattern is poor, and I had cast metal parts inside the headlights get soft and bend from the heat.
Cons: poor beam pattern
I think I got TYC housings from rock auto for about $300. No issues with aiming them and the cut off was much more clear than my faded oem lights. They came with bulbs but the headlights were really dim so I replaced them. At first had some moisture problems but that went away. Think they have capa certification also.
Pros: easy to aim, clear light cutoff
Cons: dim original bulbs, initial moisture

I just replaced mine with the TYC ones from rockauto.
The quality of the injection molding on the backs is obviously a little different from the originals, but the optics are at least good. Overall I'm pretty happy with them
Pros: good optics, happy overall
Cons: different injection molding

I installed TYC headlights for $170 from rock auto. I can speak for the TYC lights being good.
Pros: good quality

TYC headlights are trash and their sealant is the main cause of letting moisture in.
Cons: poor quality, bad sealant
it's been driving me nuts that I've been getting condensation only in my passenger side headlight. They're brand new TYC aftermarket headlights and I have another friend with the same exact issue. Same brand, same side.
It's not leaking or anything. Just your typical condensation that doesn't go away lol. I've checked the breather valve (valve for venting the heat) and while it looks identical to the driver side, the holes are pretty small. I'm guessing it's not enough for the hot air to vent out, hence the condensation.
Cons: condensation, small breather holes
