I believe I have these on my S70 and they've lasted several years now with no visible clouding or any issues whatsoever. Good buy imo.

Pros: lasted several years, no clouding, no issues
Vehicle: Volvo S70

I think I got TYC housings from rock auto for about $300. No issues with aiming them and the cut off was much more clear than my faded oem lights. They came with bulbs but the headlights were really dim so I replaced them. At first had some moisture problems but that went away. Think they have capa certification also.

Pros: easy to aim, clear light cutoff
Cons: dim original bulbs, initial moisture
Vehicle: Honda Fit

I just replaced mine with the TYC ones from rockauto.

The quality of the injection molding on the backs is obviously a little different from the originals, but the optics are at least good. Overall I'm pretty happy with them

Pros: good optics, happy overall
Cons: different injection molding
Vehicle: Volvo XC70

Our '25 Forester had the lights aimed incredibly low. I followed the directions I've used in the past for aiming headlights:

* 25ft away from a wall on a flat surface

* Measure distance from ground to sideview mirrors

* Mark on a wall 1-2" less than that height

* Using a Philips screwdriver, adjust headlights so the beam on the driver side light comes just below that level

However, I did this and the lights were way too high - illuminating oncoming drivers. I had to adjust them lower by about 2-3" at 25'.

Pros: directions for aiming
Cons: lights aimed too low
Vehicle: Subaru Forester

Cons: foggy, not bright, direction off

Don't get TYC. My beam pattern is poor, and I had cast metal parts inside the headlights get soft and bend from the heat.

Cons: poor beam pattern

One of the worst modern offenders in the current Outback. I have no idea how these are legal. They are aimed incredibly high and are bright enough to be high beams.

Pros: bright enough
Cons: aimed incredibly high
Vehicle: Subaru Outback
