Default TYC 06+ Bi-xenon headlight replacement

Hey guys, i need to replace my headlights on my car and the prices for 06+ oem headlights are crazy. At first i wanted to go with some Depo headlights but i am not a fan of the black housing, have you guys heard about TYC? or are there any other good headlights on the market?

But for some reason, the black ones are really cheap and the OEM replacements are up there in price. Supply and demand I guess.

These are out of stock until further notice, says the page.

I used TYC on my old Evo for years. great built. now, I have black housing depot on my 350z (headlights) and use depot on my m3 (rear lights, about 10 years - 2 sets) no complains and fitment is 9.5/10 on my M and 10/10 on my 350z. if it helps.

I think in part it's because they can skip the chrome plating process when they paint it black.
