Rep Power: 0 Adjusting TYC low beam...
I will be retroing Audi projectors within the next month, but for the mean time, the halogen low beam is too low.. i need to adjust it...
How do you do it?
I only see adjustment screws for the high beam...
and also...
for when i retro...
when you guys mounted OEM projectors in the TYCs, how did you make them adjustable? And whats the best way to replace them? (Bake in oven and seperate front cover?)

Rep Power: 4622 i typed this up a looooooooooooooonggggggggggg time ago:
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..

take a screw driver or butter knife and pop the clips and pry it apart (hardest part of the whole ****ing thing). My fingers kept getting burned =\
Also, scrap all the aftermarket sealent off right away because you will need to put them back together @ t he end... mind aswell take the old stuff off there because its the most annoying part.
