one of my neighbors has a black TYC on his 7th gen, looks pretty sharp.
i have a 6th gen and i was thinking to get TYC as well.
but i don't see too many chrome housing TYC around, mostly black ones.
i'm hoping the chrome will match my 6th gen's body color (silver mist).
if anyone is running chrome housing, could you share your opinion or post some pictures up?

condensation + hid = dead bulb.

I'd triple check your seals on the drilling you did.

i just got my HIDs in yesterday... but the dremeling didn't affect the seals on the projectors at all... it's the outside lense that fogs up a lil when it rains... the bulbs are protected as they are in the projectors... hhm..sounds kinda confusing huh? h:

but yeah, i will reseal the TYCs later when i have the time... anyways, cali doesn't get much rain..hehhee

Do a search. Some people love them, some hate them. I fall into the second category. I don't think they look 'right' on the car, but some heavily modified accords i've seen pull it off.

Expect pretty bad light output unless you have HIDs installed in them.
