Rep Power: 359 they do something something , i wish i remembered the sequence, just park your car near a wall, and move the screws i think its the inner one that moves it left right and the outer one up down, but still there is a correct way to aim them , with something like if your 15 feet from a wall, the beam should reach so high off the ground and so forth, but i cant remember what that is either, i never had them aimed properly though, sorry i couldnt be of more help

I'm thinking of getting a set of TYC lights for my black 2002 Civic EX. Does anybody have any pics of what the black TYC projectors look like installed on a black car??? Do they really have better lighting than stocks??? Thanx in advance

Rep Power: 788 actually NO. with projectors, it fills alot of the space close to the bumper. fog lights would be useless. check my night pics here with stock bulbs. planning on gettin brighter ones soon.

Rep Power: 788 just look at my pics in the link i gave. they don't project like stock, more like a W pattern. stock has a bigger blob of light that extends further. here is a pic of my stock light. compare it to the projector pics i posted already.
now here is a projector shot, which looks alot dimmer

Rep Power: 788 but yea the projectors dont put out as much coverage as stock. now i know why everyone wants a retrofit. i'll prolly do one in the distant future.
