I installed TYC headlights for $170 from rock auto. I can speak for the TYC lights being good.
I have a set of my 9th gen si and fitment was damn near OEM.
I replaced my worn out cloudy/mildewed headlight bodies on my 2006 CVPI with these TYC replacement OEM-look headlights from Rock Auto. So far, they've worked really well for the 4 months I've had them installed. No leaks/condensation or short circuits/failures. They were really useful on long drives (4-6 hours) at night or early morning where there aren't any streetlights for long stretches on the highway. The only complaint I have is the "high beams" just seem like a change in point of aim (higher), rather than increased illumination.
The ford transit headlight that came in today had 6x the padding
I’ve used TYC and they were good. I couldn’t tell any difference between them and oem.
I don't know how ford managed to do it at this price point but these headlights are astonishingly good. I took a maverick out for a test drive at night and with the low beams, I was lighting up 3 lanes of traffic. My wife has a gle 350 with the high performance headlights and I can confidently say the headlights in this truck are comparable with the benz. The led reflectors throw the light quite far and the low beams are nice and bright as well.
So, I opened my headlights on my 17. It is like others have said a painful process. Main reason is because the factory glue sealing the headlights is very difficult to melt, I had to bake my lights for quite a while to get it to loosen up. And even then the factory glue is basically impossible to get all the way off. Putting it back together isn\u2019t bad, I know some people have condensation issues but I\u2019ve never had any issues with that, plus from the factory there are already drain holes/air holes in the housing anyways.
I hate that my 2016 Focus needs to go to the dealership for recoding just to replace the damn headlights.
In my experience they're pretty bad. I had to replace my stock headlights '03 9-3(because all the clips that held the low beams where broken off) I went from barley being able to see at night to still not really being able to see at night. Another problem was the TYCs were missing a piece at the bottom so there was a pretty big panel gap between the bumper and light. The one good thing about them was the headlights themselves looked great.
Edit: As a broke HS student I put weather stripping between the panel gap, and that made it look pretty good. This was 6 years ago they might have improved, but I kinda doubt it
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.
