headlights

[boble94]

well i was bored so i looked at some headlights, and i came upon this,

This is from APC, looks nice with blackhousing for 175 for both.

And, this one, most people have these.

The TYC's.

I like the apc's. but i want to also see what you guys would like. So, Share!

does the little shield thingy in front of the low beams make them brighter? cuz i've seen some on stylintrucks with and without. So anyone know?

 

[haks310]

It is a glare shield, cuts down on light scatter.

 

[boble94]

i see. do you think the black housing would affect the lighting? i mean, it seems to have enough chrome where the bulb is. I dont think the top and bottom part black is going to be a problem.

 

[bowtiefreak]

I just put TYCs on my truck. The stockers were so faded.

 

[haks310]

I don't see it being a problem with light output.

Actually it is a big problem having black housing headlights. A member on here (i think it was thumper eh) purchased them and couldn't see anything more than 10 feet away. When it comes to headlights you should go with chrome, and a glare shield. TYC is the way to go.

 

[boble94]

well, i know blackhousing would be bad but its only the top and bottom of the housing, do you still think that would have a huge effect?

bowtie, god that looks so nice. it looks weird with the faded bumper lights. lol. You should replace those to get a clean look.

 

[drowndindreams]

my mistake, i didnt realize that there was chrome behind the reflector. the member who bought them had full black housing. you can try them, its worth a shot.

 

[black95]

i had full black housing with hids and i still couldnt see more that 10 feet in front of me.. major fail

 

[boble94]

yeah, they have chrome behind them. that may be what i will buy when i first get a job.

full black housing would fail. lol.

Ahh im soo partial to headlights anymore. I love my TYCs to death, thanks to haks! im glad i bought them when i did

 

[boble94]

lol. how long was it before you bought your tyc's after the black housing atomic?

 

[AtomicHoe094]

well if i had the money it would of been 5 min after installing those gay ass black headlights.. lol Like i hate them to the point where ill be throwing them away before i could sell them, i just couldnt see another person doing all the work or taking the grille off and shit to find out they are the worst headlights ever made! ahha now if you want them, pay the shipping and ill send them out to you. but i will not sell them to you otherwise.

 

[boble94]

oh no thanks. lol. my dad uses my truck to go to work out of the city so he needs all the lighting he could get. lol. i want to get him to buy a bull bar to mount some bright ass lights.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

yeah, do you know if the bumper lights would matter in black or chrome, if it was black i guess all you can see are the bulbs and a little light right?

 

[fyremanpat]

I got my TYC's for $122 shipped.

 

[wicked2000]

Dont get the black ones. I have them and its hard to see if i am not using my fog lights. Any headlights that have black will be affectted in my opinion.
