Headlights OEM Honda or TYC

JDM Honda Inspire lights are amazing and are equal to USDM Accord lights if you're willing to spend a bit of money.

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.

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

This is good to hear. While anything will be better than my 11 year old hazy Honda Fit headlights, the brighter LED’s will really help on our dark, rural, hilly roads.

They are not dim, but they are not the brightest LEDs ive seen, thats for sure.

But by no means are they dim

I had that AT. The twin headlights look nice, but standard light was only the right one, the left was high-beam only. Many people modded that ofc.

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

7th gen Civic headlights were worthless. A bunch of flashlights duct taped to the hood would be an improvement. Honda must have gotten an earful because the 8th gen Civic had excellent units.

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.
