Headlights TYC or OEM Volkswagen

TYC Headlights

My son bought some they looked immaculate. We compared the OEM housing to the TYC and it looked like TYC bought the molds or the engineering drawings as everything was identical, down to seam lines.

Pros: immaculate appearance, identical to OEM

My dad has had the OE European (glass) headlights on his Mk4 Golf since 2002. They still look great all these years later, despite 300,000+ miles on them. The European beam pattern is so much better than the U.S. one, too.

Pros: look great, better beam
Mileage: 482803 km

TYC Headlights

I’ve got TYC headlights on my V50. It all works and fits but the quality is definitely lower than oem, but it works and its a lot cheaper so its worth it if you are on a budget. Would go oem next time though

Pros: works, fits, cheaper
Cons: lower quality than OEM
Vehicle: Volvo V50

VW OEM parts are expensive as fuck, VW Dealers wont give you the part number so you can source it cheaper either, they're called stealerships for a reason, partners VW Beetle was $1500 for 1 headlight.

Cons: expensive headlight
Vehicle: Volkswagen Beetle

I have TYC headlights on my P2. One of them hasn't got a perfect seal and is fogging up after carwashes so I drive a little bit with the lid off. I got it exchanged through warranty but the issue persisted and since the entire front has to come off, I've just decided to live with it. Otherwise they work as OEM

Pros: work as OEM
Cons: not perfect seal, fogging up, issue persisted
