Adjust TYC Projectors

netcbc · 05-07-2003

I did a search, yes there are few posts but they are very vague, i'm looking for something specific in description.

Yes I know you turn the silver screws at the back but what does each screw do exactly?

I see one higher and one lower, I believe the higher one adjusts the High Beam but what does the lower one do? I turned that thing a million times and nothing seemed to move for my projector beam, as well is there another screw for adjusting?

the projectors have its own set of screws. from what i remember and someone telling me, the 2 screws on the projector, the one clostest to the fender moves it up/down while the other one moves it left/right? i have not confirmed this information but i will soon. my projectors are still aimed too low.

i cant believe there isnt enough information on this topic? hmmm, oh well. it seems to me there would be enough, maybe somebody that has projectors should make a DIY.

((((THIS SHOULD HELP))))

**TO MOVE BEAM UP on the DRIVER-SIDE**
turn the outer(lower) screw counter-clock-wise

**TO MOVE BEAM UP on the PASSENGER-SIDE**
turn the outer(lower) screw counter-clock-wise

**TO MOVE BEAM TO THE RIGHT (towards the plate) on the DRIVER-SIDE**
turn the inner(upper) screw clock-wise

**TO MOVE BEAM TO THE LEFT (towards the plate) on the PASSENGER-SIDE**
turn the inner(upper) screw clock-wise

its hard to explain...it took my a few hours to aim correctly

That was me. Ok here it is people. Look at the back of the projector assembly. There are two long screws, one on top of the other. Those are for the high beam. I haven't really adjusted my high beams that much so I'm not really sure which one does what.

For the low beam (projector bulb), there are two screws on either side of the housing on the back of the projector assembly. They are really small and look like they are just there for keeping the light together. That's them. On both headlights, the screw closest to the fender is for adjusting the height. The other scew on the opposite side closest to the engine bay are for adjusting left to right.

It's pretty simple people. It just takes awhile to adjust everything properly. Hope this helps.
