Light output on projectors is not that great compared to the stock headlight units. Though I did hear that the TYC projector headlights do perform well in terms of lighting. Don't know much about that though. But the other projector headlights out there (like, jaguar eyes, shark eyes, etc.) are pretty bad.

I have Angel Eyes projectors on my 93 and I am not impressed. The lights they use are made for fog lights not real headlights. Mine use H3 for lows, and H1 for highs.
They do look cool, but I need to go back to stock for my daily driver. I am taking them off and selling them once it is warm out again.
If you can do looks over function then they are cool.

Just my $0.02.

If you're expecting brighter, you'll be very dissappointed. These aftermarket headlights are purely cosmetic, not much funcion.

my si fogs would out power my projectors. total suck on light output, but looks pretty cool.

Can anyone that owns the TYC projectors, give us your imput? Are they worth the money? Is the light output any close to stock? Thanks. :awais:

Haha... I had the exact same projectors. Though I did like how the light looked when looking at the car, the actual function of these headlights were horrible.

I was planning on getting some HID's sometime in the future, but I heard that it's illegal to install HID's now on a car that didn't originally have it as factory equipment (or at least offered as a dealer option).

Everyone had sharkeyes :thumbup: They were cool. The original ones, made by Denji, were actually decent. All the knock-off's after that were :down:

It's always been illegal to install HID's on your car, you're altering the safety device/headlight (something like that)... but it's very amusing that some people with Maxima's, BMW's, MBZ's and TL's get tickets for having xenon's as well... they usually get them dismissed though.

I used to have the Denji's. Glad they are gone. Stock > Denji Projectors.
