Default TYC Headlights (eBay)

I'm thinking about getting TYC Black projector headlights off ebay, and all of these seem to be the same, but one costs almost $200 while one is $110. Is there any difference in these Headlights (that you can tell)? Thanks in advance.

($126)

Buy the $110 one's, saltpepper is a good seller, that's where I got mine and he's got a 99.9% rating. Trust me you'll be happy. :irock:

I remember when saltpepper was charging $163. That's what I bought mine for, plus s/h. All the TYC heads for our car used to be mad expensive. If you want pics of them on a 6thG you can click the link in my sig.

Edit: I took off the lame rice mirrors, too

I tempting to get a set too, but pepz say is ghey, if just using regualr H1 bulb. So HID will be good on those TYC? Hows the output with those H1 bulb? Are there any better than 9006 SilverStar bulbs?

the H1 bulbs that come with the TYC projectors are very good (OSRAM bulbs) and their light output is better than stock. Silverstars would look good on the projectors. But i stll stand by my belief that aftermarket projectors with stock halogens are :ghey:

Thanks kenton for the pics, and yeah I have a question about HID too, I will definately be getting an HID conversion kit, but what kind should I get, there are so many!!! 8000K, 10000K, 12000K, 14000K...? And since I would be using the TYC headlights, I should get a kit for H1 bulbs right? Do most HID kits come with hi/low lights or not, and I'm willing to pay a lot for good quality ones, so which ones do you guys think are the best / you've had good results with. Thanks for the replies
