Default What do you guys think !!!!!!!

I know how people are constantly saying on this forum that. Projection headlights are horrible and produce less light than regular stock headlights. With that being said I am also hearing how TYC does get some respect because they are the only company that makes decent ones. Do I stand correct by stating this?
I found these on eBay
TYC ACCORD PROJECTOR

What do you guys think about these headlights matted with JDM style depo corners? Also do you think an Audi retrofit could be done or get a hid kit for the h1 or h3 bulbs that they provide.

I think the retro fit, you will have better luck with. BUT I hear its a pain in the ass to do. It takes a lot of patience and time but in the end works out nice.
The rumors about the TYC projectors is true, the beam pattern is ass.

I've never had a problem with my TYCs after adjusting the beam pattern.

Granted, I'm running 4 H1 EUDM OSRAM SilverStar +50% (USDM is +30%)bulbs.

you think the beam pattern sucks on the TYC's? not from everyone I talked to about them. the beam pattern is pretty decent, and if you throw in a set of HIDs with them they are real nice.

pretty much what it meants. the pattern of the beam projected from the bulb. if you do a search, loxllxol did a HID retro fit and he took pictures of the beam patern. that should give you a good idea of what a good beam patern looks like.

In my experience, projector headlights produce the most even spread of light with the sharpest cutoff, which I prefer. I used to have a 95 Integra and the headlights were really outstanding.
