TYC & Rock Auto

Let me say this first, "DO NOT ORDER FROM AUTO PARTS WAREHOUSE" I waited so long for my pair of headlights to come in to find that them arrogant people sent me a pair of headlights from 2 different companies. 1 from TYC an the other from Depo. Depo is garbage, I noticed between the TYC assembly and Depo assembly both have differences in the reflectors. The TYC also fits better them the Depo, the TYC also has a better beam then the Depo.

My old pair of Depo were garage which forced me to 'try' to get a better pair. I found bad reviews on that website aftet I ordered.

Now I found TYC on the Rock Auto sight for $70.00 capa sealed an what not. Anyone know if they're a good company? I cant have 2 different assemblies from 2 different companies with 1 fitting better then the other an with 1 beam totally different from the other.

I also noticed little things about the quality of the TYC over the Depo, TYC is just better quality overall.

Help me guys im furious right now. I spent $266 an some change to get robbed.

Heres the headlight im abouts to order but waiting for everyones input: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1377601&cc=1317103
 


Rockauto is a great site. I have ordered all kinds of stuff from them best items good price and fast shipping. Never had a problem at all.
 
I think that is where I ordered my harmonic balancer that exploded after 10 miles.

I'm running eagle eyes in my car and other than the corners always fogging up I like em.
 
My company owns rockauto, all the headlights seem to be pretty much as close as you will get to oem being that cheap.
 
I love rockauto. I ordered tyc oem style headlights from there. Got the headlights in two days and the quality is pretty good. And great price.

Its not like a company like rockauto is going to sell absolute garbage, its not ebay where they can get away with it. They have a reputation to uphold and being our company is the 4th largest car parts dealer in the us your not going to be getting ebay crap. If you want to pay an extra 30 bucks for them go ahead. 60 bucks a headlight is cheap anyway so why not.

What irritates me most is that the junk pair of Depos I just took off my car were more then these TYCs, hell the capa sealed are cheaper.

I just want my match up to my driver side TYC, same beam, same quality build.
 
Yea i dont think you will be disappointed. After all most the "oem" parts are the exact same parts that we sell in store. Manufacturers dont like people to know that but there isnt that many factorys that make parts. They are all made in the same places and slapped with different names

so true and most oil and about 75% of liqueurs do the same crap. And Iv never had a prob. I even got a call about a part I ordered, it was on back order. They were just letting me know it's going to take about 2 weeks.

So i got the assembly from Rock Auto by TYC. Noticed right off the bat tiny little differences between the driver assembly and passenger 1, but when i got everything aimed properly, it looked perfect. The output is great. Something ive been trying to get right the first time 2 years ago.

Attention to all, DEPO assemblies are junk. They throw out bad lighting, when you shine them on the wall, they look like arches which makes everything look terrible on the road at night. Stay away.
 
Have been ordering from Rock Auto for years. One problem and they took care of it right away. Will not order from any other company.
1999 Grand Prix. Have 2 TYC lights no problems.

I got a pair of TYC headlights from RockAuto a couple weeks ago. Easy to install and the reflectors seem to be better than my Eagle Eyes that I broke the bracket on.
