They look good, have excellent fitment, and even come with quality (OSRAM) bulbs. I'd swap them out for EUDM SilverStars or HID, but they're a quality lamp.

Check the link at the bottom of my sig for various pics with them on my car.

Thanks for the reply..Umm those are H1(HI) and H3(LOW). Can I retro them to fit 600x bulbs? I have Silverstar on my OEM headlight now.

I am thinking about getting TYC's on my 5th gen. Right now I have the Silverstars and they seem ok light output wise. So... those that got TYC's did you use the bulbs that came with them, go with Silverstars, go with OSRAM Silverstars or get HIDs?

i just installed the tyc blackhousing in my 6th gen... i like the look, light output is pretty good but it's not spread evenly..

i currently have the osram bulbs that come with it which give good output but are yellowish coloured..

i'll be replacing them with silverstars soon.

I recommend you get the EUDM version which is 50% brighter than OEM, the USDM version is 30%. They are not DOT/SAE certified, but are certified by the European equivalent of the DOT, so they would likely be DOT approved -- if tested. I bought all four for about $75 SHIPPED. Try to go local and get 4 SilverStars for $75.
