TYC Headlights

If you could find a TYC brand headlight I vouch for TYC goodness, bought a pair on Amazon $70/each for 2006 Tacoma (goodbye yellow lens from aging!)

Pros: TYC goodness, goodbye yellow lens
Vehicle: Toyota

I swapped my wife's headlight on her Mazda CX-5 after she hit a deer at <30mph. Surprisingly the damage was just to the headlight and a few small cracks on her bumper. $500 great condition ebay headlight swap and looks like new.

Pros: headlight looks like new
Vehicle: Mazda

I swapped my ‘14 to these TYCs because the stock ones sucked. These sucked less, but still sucked.

Pros: sucked less
Cons: still sucked

I do taiwanese after market brand new for half that. And they dont have adjusters 30+year old, prone to failure. The lenses on those also look like they have just been polished. You can see the yellow around the outer edge, which is on the back side of the lens, which hasnt been done. These will go yellow in 3-6 months, and i bet my life the lens is "crazy cracked," but without a closer photo cant tell. Im not trying to steer you toward buying from me, but i would suggest just getting a pair of aftermarket ones, if you do make sure they are either DEPO or TYC branded. Dont buy anything chinese they will be shithouse.

Pros: brand new, half price
Cons: prone to failure, go yellow

It was a terrible headlight design with a built in fan that failed very quickly, so it's believable that they are short on them.

Cons: terrible design, fan failed

Maintenance after 5 years warranty is expensive. Parts are pricey and hard to come by. 1 bnew headlight alone can cost you 6 digits.

Cons: pricey headlight, hard to come by

I\u2019ve had a CX-30 for almost two years. I love the car, but I wouldn\u2019t get another Mazda after this. Nothing but trouble, sadly. On average, I\u2019ve had to go to the dealership every three months for different issues. Next week I\u2019m getting a headlight replaced, and it would cost $1\u20132k if it weren\u2019t under warranty.

Pros: love the car
Cons: nothing but trouble
Vehicle: Mazda

Brand new set of headlights i got for my A3, less than 24h later and the dipped beam surround fell off. Now i'm going to have to remove the bumper, disassemble the whole thing to fix that, and reseal it.

Cons: dipped beam surround fell off
