sorry to hear that, but TYC wont work well with HID kits.Period. TYC lenses and projectors are s***t.You cant do anything right know.Will you aim or not it is not gonna help you. Only choice is to replace TYC projectors onto HID projectors.
I tried different types of HID kit: a few real japanese, german, hongkong kits.Just wasted money.Only after I retrofitted TYCs with Valeo hid projectors Ive got what I wanted.If you want I can help you with that.

one more, if you have stock headlights the HID kit has to work good.I`m using Philips hid kit in the JDM halogen headlamps and no prob at all.

it was kinda foggy/rainy right now when i just got home, and I could see my beam pattern. So i decided to take a pic of it (sorry for the bad quality, i took it from a camera phone, didnt wanna get my digicam wet, lol) to show u how high its aimed. OEM height.

Re: Installed HIDs today

the lower cutoff needs to be 2 inch lower than the distance measured from the ground to the projector at 25 ft away from wall.

Re: Installed HIDs today

Either that or the filament isn't in the same location as stock which would mean a bad install or a poorly made bulb.
There is no filament in a HID bulb. And yes, the arc on the HID bulb will be at a different location from a stock halogen filament. Thats not because its a poor quality bulb per se, its bc its a rebased D2S bulb. you are getting flashed by due to the different focal points, you are in essence always driving with your highs on. Youll notice that light is hitting off the entire reflector with HIDs, not just the top, like it does for halogen lo beams
