Edit: Confusion solved, cars245.com, which has the TYC projectors at an excellent price, doesn't have a category for '13+ so the '13+ headlights are simply categorized under '09+ even though they are quite clearly for '13+ and also TYC's own Euro site confirms this as well... Still don't know what's up with the different part number on each pic, but the top one is what DOES work for sure and can actually be found and ordered. Original post below:
In a quest to find alternate headlights other than the $700-800 Euro OEM's, I've seen mostly aftermarket for the '09+, lots of varieties, with MUCH fewer varieties for the "refresh" '12+ that obviously our ST's fall under... BUT, in another thread here, there are TYC brand projectors we can order from Europe for only $125 each, a member uses them and they work great... BUT, the thing is they are listed for all '09+, no separate category for the '13+ refresh, HERE and proven to work on our '14+ ST's...
So, does anyone know if the '09+ simply fit or not? Maybe different plug connector? They appear identical from what I've been able to tell and I'd LOVE to have a much better selection to choose from...
OK, this is what I've found...Note the part numbers being different but appear identical and first ones says for '09+ (proven to work) and different part# but can't find anywhere but TYC web site...
From the cars245.com that others have used successfully and the site says for '09+:
And from the TYC website, says for '12+:
They look identical but the part # from cars245.com comes up empty on TYC web site too... So frustrating! I'd love to get ones with projectors and in black!
