Headlights OEM Porsche or TYC

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

For anyone looking to do a headlight swap on a first gen these are the (TYC) lights I purchased:

I work at a body shop and I use TYC when I can. They are the best aftermarket HL supplier.

I have some tyc headlights on my 09 chevy colorado and they seem fine. The headlights are almost 2 years old and they still look brand new

I enjoy the wedge-look of my 944 when the headlights are down. I don't mind the look when they're up, but they just look better down.

The novelty was cool right after purchasing the car, but now I'm more worried about something breaking with them and having to pay a big repair bill for something pretty simple.

I've had good luck with the TYC branded headlights too.

I don’t know why, but I like them on the 996 but don’t on the 986

First picture is low beams Second high and low Third against a wall about 10 feet away ( couldnt find a dark enough place with enough space to do the 25ft) My main complaint is the dark and hot spots. There is no blend with the beams. You can clearly see the reflectors mirrored onto the street. (Worse in real life) Also there is no light thrown to the sides of the vehicle. Almost looks like a spot light They might not be adjusted perfectly but that is also due to the lack of quality. While adjusting the headlights one of 6mm hex screws came out. Another one appeared to not to be doing anything and then jumped a large amount and stopped adjusting. Im assuming they skipped a tooth or the internal adjusting screw came out of the reflector housing.

Either way these no name aftermarkets have to go lol. Someone on here can have them for free once i get these Hellas put in. Kind of shocked at how terrible they are. The company that sells them is PERDE, but if you look closely at the housing they are really TYC's. As a mechanic, I used TYC for simple stuff before like a radiator or maybe a blower fan etc. This is my first time using one of their headlights. Certain things just arent good aftermarket, headlights being one of them apparently lol.

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
