Headlights Morimoto or TYC

I have a set of my 9th gen si and fitment was damn near OEM.

I replaced my worn out cloudy/mildewed headlight bodies on my 2006 CVPI with these TYC replacement OEM-look headlights from Rock Auto. So far, they've worked really well for the 4 months I've had them installed. No leaks/condensation or short circuits/failures. They were really useful on long drives (4-6 hours) at night or early morning where there aren't any streetlights for long stretches on the highway. The only complaint I have is the "high beams" just seem like a change in point of aim (higher), rather than increased illumination.

If we're talking headlights, oem 1000%. Morimotos are good too (output and spread) but they have qc issues. Avoid Alpharex like the plague. They have terrible beam patterns.

I put those same morimotos in my truck about a week after I bought it. Way better than the stock halogens.

Had these headlights about 3 days after I bought the truck. So much better than the halogens.

Morimoto and alpharexx are the common full housing swaps, i prefer morimoto for their warranty and ive used their products before.

I’ve used TYC and they were good. I couldn’t tell any difference between them and oem.

Morimoto will give you the best light output, but quality has been hit or miss over the last few years.

In my experience they're pretty bad. I had to replace my stock headlights '03 9-3(because all the clips that held the low beams where broken off) I went from barley being able to see at night to still not really being able to see at night. Another problem was the TYCs were missing a piece at the bottom so there was a pretty big panel gap between the bumper and light. The one good thing about them was the headlights themselves looked great.

Edit: As a broke HS student I put weather stripping between the panel gap, and that made it look pretty good. This was 6 years ago they might have improved, but I kinda doubt it

In my experience the TYC headlights I've used have been pretty bad. Beam pattern is scattered all over the place and fit and finish is sub par.
