TYC tail lights

I dunno, Im kinda skeptical on the way they will look. I've seen the TYC lights and I'm just not into them. but hey, to each his own.


That is... TYC lights on other cars ie. accord etc.

Time to n00b it up... what are TYC lights? I certainly hope not like altezza...

thanks for the link JZA70. so far it looks like i was told the right release date. i am still curious what they will look like though. the xB has black housing and the xA has chrome housing. i wonder which one the tC will get....

pretty much but you can get finishes other than chrome. the fit & finish is top notch from TYC.

i think the website is www.elegantebytyc.com

LED tail lights are brighter and use up less energy. The best example that I can think of right now are on the brand new Audi A4's and also the Infiniti G35 tail lights. They look like rows of bright red dots; those are LEDs (regular tail lights use bulbs)

more of a fad than anything else imo

Probably not a fad. LEDs are brighter, last longer, and FAR more efficient than traditional bulbs. You will most likely see more and more applications for LEDs in the years to come.

L.E.D's are not a fad. They are 10000000000% more efficient than bulbs.

In fact, when your at an intersection staring at the traffic light... it should be L.E.D's now. (depending where you live)

The traffic light bulbs burn out ever 3 months estimated. The LED's won't have to be swapped for a year.

If you look at auto conventions for future cars, most are using LED's now.

Many traffic lights in the Atlanta area use LEDs. Some home light ficstures are even using LEDs now.

well i know and understand that they are more efficient and last longer but honestly... they still work the same you know? they still light up red when you press the brakes... indicating that you are slowing down lol.

i don't know, i guess i've never had the frustration of having a burnt out tail light.

They do the same jobs, but LED's do them better.

LEDs will also be cheaper to produce...

Now or in the future?

LED's have been around for about 40 years, they've just been recently mainstreamed. I dont think they're as cheap to produce as conventional bulbs yet, simply because the manufacturing process has not caught up with the demand for em. I do think in a few years, they will take over major aspects of lighting. You'll start to see them in your fridge, in house lamps and whatever else. Just as a side note, NYC replaced all of its traffic lights from regular bulbs to LED's, in order to save a little over a $1,000,000 per year on energy, which obviously helped its troubling budget issues.
