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

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.

Pros: worked really well, no leaks, no failures, useful on long drives
Cons: high beams point of aim
Vehicle: Ford Crown Victoria

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%

Pros: perfectly acceptable
Cons: cheaper connectors, fit not 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

Pros: headlights looked great
Cons: poor visibility, panel gap, missing piece

Did I mention that I just bought a Chevy Colorado...with reflector headlight housings...lol. Literally had my first spat of extensive overnight driving this past weekend, and I could not believe how terrible the headlights were. Driving through Tennessee at night was nerve racking. Glad to see that I'm not nuts......

Cons: terrible headlights
Vehicle: Chevrolet Colorado

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.

Cons: bad beam pattern, sub par fit/finish
