Cons: dipped beam surround fell off

TYC ist halt schlechte/billige Qualit\u00e4t. Da passiert es schon \u00f6fters das Lampenfassungen beim Einbau kaputt gehen, gerade bei Blinkleuchten passiert das leider h\u00e4ufiger. Wenn m\u00f6glich und es sich noch Lohnt w\u00fcrde ich lieber Hella nehmen.

Cons: schlechte/billige Qualit\u00e4t
