TYCs still rocking without any moisture two years later.
I’ve used TYC many times and no issues to report.
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.
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.
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
Our '25 Forester had the lights aimed incredibly low. I followed the directions I've used in the past for aiming headlights:
* 25ft away from a wall on a flat surface
* Measure distance from ground to sideview mirrors
* Mark on a wall 1-2" less than that height
* Using a Philips screwdriver, adjust headlights so the beam on the driver side light comes just below that level
However, I did this and the lights were way too high - illuminating oncoming drivers. I had to adjust them lower by about 2-3" at 25'.
TYC is as bad as it gets.
I have an 09 Forrester and its nearly impossible to drive at night due to the headlights. Foggy, not bright and direction is off.
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.
One of the worst modern offenders in the current Outback. I have no idea how these are legal. They are aimed incredibly high and are bright enough to be high beams.
