Questions About Projectors!!!

I have encountered some problems...

1) For the Halo Projectors, are u supposed to use the stock headlight turn signal? I looked at it today and noticed that theres no way that bulb would fit. Do i have to buy another bulb or.......????

2) I have read before that you must aim these headlights. Is this something you can do on ur own, or do u have to take them somewhere. If so, will any garage do them, and how much?

Any help would be appreciated.. thanks

Im in the same boat man! what kind of projectors are they? Mine are similar to the TYC's but a different brand! The bulb fitement was terrible on mine! I had to rig the turn signal bulb and the wedge bulb to get them to stay in the lamp and the hi beam is way out of whack! One shines on the ground and the other shines straight out like it should! Not to mention the projectors look dim as hell! If you hear of how to aim these things send me a pm and let me know!

Im pretty sure u aim them using the screws in the back ... but it seems pretty hard if the lights are on ur car... I heard that these will be dimmer but i know ppl buy stronger bulbs so that may help a bit.. as fas as the blinker i dont know wat im gonna do..

Did yours have oversized sockets for the bulbs too? Yeah i noticed those screws and figured that must be how you align them but yeah it is kind of hard when they are on the very back of the assembly!

well mine for some reason came with an orange bulb which is supposed to be the running light.. which is useless.. so wat im gonna try to do is take my stock blinker and put in in the 3rd part(on the far right), not where its actually supposed to go cause its too small. maybe that will work.. i hope

Use the stock turn signal. I got the exact same projectors as you Matt and the fitment of the socket my not be right on but a little silicone will take care of that. And yes you do have to aim them w/ the screws in the back. It's tendious but you can do it at home. I just parked my car in front of my garage and used a DIY on this forum. Takes some time but w/o the projectors and high beams properly aimed it's gonna be dim. If you need help PM me.

You got aim before or during installation.
