Ill be nice before you get flamed on..
1. Remove Bumper (see DIY)
2. Remove 4 Bolts All Around Headlight Housing
3. Remove Old Headlights
4. Install TYC's
5. Put 4 bolts back in
6. Plug in TYC Connector install Factory Connector
7. Turn on Lights and Test
8. If Working, Line up against a wall and adjust
9. See bottom of this page for adjustment procedures.
10. Put bumper back on
11. Go Cruise.
12. Learn to search the site
13. Thank me
14. Have Fun
** No cutting, splicing, opening, nothing!**
**BTW, Nice car man!**
How To Adjust:
**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
(Thanks to falken for that DIY on previous thread)
****************
I know you'll be sure to ask in the near future so check back for this if needed:
WHAT BULBS ARE IN THE PROJECTORS??
High Beams - H1
Low Beams - H1
Parking Lamp - 194
Turn Signal - 3457 (3156, 3157 work also)
Best Bulbs to Buy?
I have worked with MTEC, Eurolite, And Many Others and yes, every bulb will be bright just about, so its your choice of opinion..
MTEC are bright as hell and prolly the highest rating on the site.
Stock bulbs have worked for me perfectly fine, so its your decision..
Remember about laws against the bulbs..
The best way to go is get a H.I.D. Kit made by phillips or out of a lexus, bmw, or whatever..
Hope this helps..

what if I have the crappy angel eyes? they look all bizarre and **** at night 
but...only the highbeams have the three adjusting screws. is there some sort of way to adjust the lamps where the bulb snaps in?

you must definately know what you're doing! it's too bad you couldn't come to my house and do it for me, too.
or is there some magical way to adjust a light that has no adjusting screws, that I'm just not aware of?

sure sounded like you were.
I also have the matrix X3 halos, and mine don't have the adjusting screws.
the only screws they have are on the highbeams.
ghey.
I wish the TYC's didn't have the orange in them...I'd love to get rid of mine and get the black housing TYC's.
these things suck.

no, seriously, they don't.
i'd take pics, but my batteries are dead.
I've had them apart many times to try and fix the busted halo.
there's three screws around the highbeams, and nothin for the lowbeams.
this is half of the reason why I hate them.
the other half is that...well...no wait, that's the only reason why I hate them!
if I could adjust them, they wouldn't be so dim at night. it's all because they're pointed ghey.
so I can only see about 15ft infront of me
oh yeah, I also hate them because one of the halo's came to me busted, and I'm not about to send them back (yuck).
I've just had a really bad experience with these lights, and I'm wishin I got the TYC's, even though these look way cooler!

the angel eye projector are adjustable, i had to adjust mine when i had hids installed in them. to adjust the low beam, there is two screws that are on the back towards the bottom of the headlights (you have to take apart your bumper and headlight to adjust the screws back there). the screws looks like it is there to hold the headlight together , but are really what is use to adjust your low beam. use a screw driver or socket wrench to turn them and it does take awhile for them to move. there should be two screws on each headlight, one to move up and down and the other to move left and right

just to spite you, I'm going to take pictures.
there are NO ADJUSTING SCREWS AT ALL on the lowbeams!!!
I'm sure yours have them, BUT MINE DO NOT.
I'm an experienced car enthusiast...I know what I'm talking about.
I'm not some 10 year old like you "FueledYa". I'm telling you that my angel eye projectors DO NOT HAVE ADJUSTING SCREWS FOR THE LOWBEAMS.
you probably have some different rev than mine. I know that you can adjust headlights (I've done it before), and so I tried to adjust the lowbeams...NO SCREWS.
bah, forget it.
you're obviously a tool, so there's no sense in arguing. end of conversation.

Your the fuc#ing tool you shmuck! Above is your original response to my telling that other guy how to adjust his projectors. Notice the friggin sarcasm in your post. You started it buddy. I am not a 10 year old, nor do I act like one. I just don't think you know what your talking about that's all. I haven't heard of anyone else buying projectors w/o a way to adjust them. Maybe you have a one of a kind "custom" set, I don't no. I would like to see those pics you promised.
