Default tyc headlights



before the flaming begins, I do not like these... I have the 08 headlights, but was curious as to seeing if these were really tyc's and seeing if anyone has them... might not look bad with a brow... but I dunno... oh and I did do a search but no luck in finding info so I started a thread.

I know TYC only offered the tails from the factory, but why is speed-element.com labeling them as "authentic TYC" headlights???

I am def. not a buyer and don't believe ebay for a bit, but it was just weird to me that an actual site labeled it as a TYC... I didn't believe it... I was just asking if it was legit, but stupid me for asking lol

Yo, taco. Do you have any more pics? I'm in the market for headlights and those don't look half bad compared to the other aftermarket headlights.

Don't mean to thread-jack, but does TYC have a website? Im curious as to weather they make lights for other cars, as well as ours.
