The TYCs are great, I've got more and whiter light than OEM (I did have regular American SilverStar's in my OEM 9006 lows).

Paid $189 shipped for the headlamps, paid $70 shipped (From Europe) for 4 H1 SilverStar 50% bulbs.

Looks nice though, but it looks really high on the wall unless you are on an incline?

Yeah, you're right they take H1 bulbs.

As for the "custom" projectors, those are the regular TYC projectors straught out of the box. They're the new ones that came out about a month ago.
