*LOOKING AT THE HOUSING FROM THE BACK*
FOR THE PROJECTORS:

which screw is for the right/left aiming...
FOR THE HIGH BEAMS:
which screw is for the up/down aiming...
which screw is for the right/left aiming...
and how in the hell can i get my hand in there??
**DID A SEARCH...NOTHING**...AND THE HOUSINGS DIDN'T HAVE DIRECTIONS

Rep Power: 0 The easiest way to adjust them is to take the battery out (left side) and pull out the washer fluid resevoir (right side) and then use a socket wrench with I believe it's a 10mm socket.
I have no idea which screw does what, but mine are horribly mis-aligned as well, and I didn't even see screws for the projectors, so they're aimed really low. My hi-beams aren't much higher than my low-beams so if someone does know which screw does what, I'd be grateful as well.

Rep Power: 334 u really just have to play with it. my highbeams and low beams came aligned pretty well. just my low beams are a little too low. andi think the best way to adjust it is u have to have it free from the car. aka removing thebumper and bolts etc. its hard has hell to fit a socket wrench and turn it enuff to actually see anykind of results allowing u to figure out which screw does what.
mines are also fogging since i opened them. need to reseal them better too.. weather hasnt been cooperatiing

Rep Power: 448 maybe i should just take them out and get them 'straight' in the hole first...and then fine tune them afterwards...
BTW...even though they are mis-aligned...they are VERY bright

Rep Power: 0 questions about the tyc... some people say its not bright... its horrible in the dark... and some people say its alright... which is it? cause i wanna get them too... but if its not that bright... then i would stick with the stock ones... but if they are bright i wanna get them... so are they bright? and if they are not bright... how unbright is the tyc... compared to stock ones. 20% 10% 5%... meaning is it noticeable unbright? thanks...
there is no way that the tyc's are brighter than the stock headlights. unless i am using the wrong bulb???
i have the piaa xtreme white in there. anyone have any suggestions? when i had the stock assembly, i was using piaa xtreme white also and i would say they were about 20-30% brighter. right now i feel like i am sacrificing function for looks. they are aimed a little low, maybe that's the problem???

Rep Power: 0 so we have another mixed opinions.... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] so overall you think its worth getting it... ? if it like little less brighter then the stock ones... i could deal with that... but if its really bad as some people are saying it is.... then its really bad... what do you guys think...

Rep Power: 448 ok...I aimed them last night and they have one awesome beam pattern......
with the 'stock' TYC bulbs I wanted to compare to 'stock' Honda H4's...so what i did was, parked my wife's 02 sedan next to my 01 sedan, turned on the lights to both vehicles and the TYC's actually over-powered the stocks...now I hear a lot about them not being an improvement over stock, but I would have to disagree...
now for an upgraded set of bulbs...
