Headlights OEM Subaru or TYC

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

My Limited 2019 WRX has the tracking headlights. It’s actually really helpful (and you realize how helpful they are when you go drive someone else’s car that doesn’t have them).

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 went from a base to a limited. Honestly, the headlights are worth it.

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

TYC is perfectly acceptable. I will say I have used TYC stuff in other applications where the connectors felt a little cheaper than the Hella OE, and the fit was not quite 100%

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.

Just got my Honda Odyssey out of the body shop after an accident and they replaced my left headlight with aftermarket (TYC) brand. For context, the vehicle has factory auto leveling HIDs. The cutoff is not as sharp as the OE and the peripheral beam pattern has a lot of hot spots.
