The easiest way to adjust them is to take the battery out (left side) and pull out the washer fluid resevoir (right side) and then use a socket wrench with I believe it's a 10mm socket.
I have no idea which screw does what, but mine are horribly mis-aligned as well, and I didn't even see screws for the projectors, so they're aimed really low. My hi-beams aren't much higher than my low-beams so if someone does know which screw does what, I'd be grateful as well.

u really just have to play with it. my highbeams and low beams came aligned pretty well. just my low beams are a little too low. andi think the best way to adjust it is u have to have it free from the car. aka removing thebumper and bolts etc. its hard has hell to fit a socket wrench and turn it enuff to actually see anykind of results allowing u to figure out which screw does what.
mines are also fogging since i opened them. need to reseal them better too.. weather hasnt been cooperatiing
questions about the tyc... some people say its not bright... its horrible in the dark... and some people say its alright... which is it? cause i wanna get them too... but if its not that bright... then i would stick with the stock ones... but if they are bright i wanna get them... so are they bright? and if they are not bright... how unbright is the tyc... compared to stock ones. 20% 10% 5%... meaning is it noticeable unbright? thanks...
there is no way that the tyc's are brighter than the stock headlights. unless i am using the wrong bulb???
i have the piaa xtreme white in there. anyone have any suggestions? when i had the stock assembly, i was using piaa xtreme white also and i would say they were about 20-30% brighter. right now i feel like i am sacrificing function for looks. they are aimed a little low, maybe that's the problem???
so we have another mixed opinions.... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] so overall you think its worth getting it... ? if it like little less brighter then the stock ones... i could deal with that... but if its really bad as some people are saying it is.... then its really bad... what do you guys think...
mine are a little off but i got lazy after i installed them so i left it the way they are hehe. i think i blind on coming traffic [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

ok...I aimed them last night and they have one awesome beam pattern......
with the 'stock' TYC bulbs I wanted to compare to 'stock' Honda H4's...so what i did was, parked my wife's 02 sedan next to my 01 sedan, turned on the lights to both vehicles and the TYC's actually over-powered the stocks...now I hear a lot about them not being an improvement over stock, but I would have to disagree...
