I cannot remember if I asked you, but do the TYC lights have any CSA or UL stamps on them?

I don't think they have them, but I'l run down in a few minutes and check one out. I don't have an 06-08 here right now, but I have a couple 4th gen sets here to check.

CSA = Canadian Standards Association

Basically anything that is built for use in Canada that falls under electrical, automotive, or similar, must be certified safe. Its what the po-po will look for if they pull your vehicle over for 'bad lighting'. Given all the goofballs running HID's w/ Reflectors up here, I don't think it'll be a big issue, but I figured if it had it, it'd be worth knowing.

I think it's ironic the you think the amber strip causes the poor lighting and guys paint there lights for that effect when they do eyebrows lol

Its not that the amber strip causes poor lighting, but the enclosures on an 06 and an 07 are the same size. As long as your enclosure is the same size, you cannot put more components into it without adjusting space allocation. In the 06 enclosures, the reflector is slightly smaller compared to 07. Whether that is infact what has caused my lighting issues or not, I'm not certain but its the most obvious an nonavoiable. It could be something else but nothing has been pointed out other than my grill guard..

The lights don't say anything on them about CSA or UL. They do say DOT / SAE, and the box says they say " FMVSS-108 compliant"

 

[Cthulhu]

Hm.. well, CDN and USA are very close in standards so they should be ok..

I use TYCs if I can (and on yours, I can!) - they are a great light, made to the standards of OEMs. Hell, they even make some OEM lights! (some hyundais, infinity, kia, mazda, suburu and toyota). I have worked with some other brands, just don't do it for me man.
