Headlights OEM Porsche or TYC
Upgraded my old and crusty headlights, to new OEM style TYC lights. It instantly improved the look of the vehicle and its safety and visibility! Definitely worth the $80 CAD investment. Product used: TYC # 20601400 (driver) and #20601300 (passenger) mine came with bulbs pre-installed.
Bought these for my 05 and they turned out nice.
For that price, you’re looking at the same cost as a set of TYC headlights, which are great quality headlights.
TYC or Depo are OE replacement lamps, they're good enough for insurance and/or body shops to use instead of OE. The difference is the lens material, it's a thinner, lower grade plastic.
My son bought some they looked immaculate. We compared the OEM housing to the TYC and it looked like TYC bought the molds or the engineering drawings as everything was identical, down to seam lines.
Bought some TYC replacements for my 4th gen a few years back. They’ve held up well
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
That’s terrible, but I’m not surprised. The lens on my 992 cracked and Porsche wanted $6300 for a new headlight (they don’t sell just the lens).
My indy Porsche mechanic told me they had to charge a Cayenne owner 3500+ to replace a headlight. He said even the headlight has a microchip now. Just unnecessary complexity.
I particularly hate the Porsche headlights with the 4 dots of light, they create a weird afterimage for several minutes.
