TYC projectors VS stock headlights!

I tried to find the post that was about this from a while ago but no luck, so here goes. Last night I finally had the time to completely adjust my TYC projectors. And let me tell everyone that had doubts like I did, these projectors are about 2 times brighter than stock!!!! It is almost night and day between the two! I'm running MTEC bulbs in mine and they are VERY VERY close to HID. I also met up with my boy that had just bought a Lexus IS 300 last night to compare. To my surprise his lights were only SLIGHTLY brighter then mine. To anyone that is thinking about getting these headlights, I highly recommend them!! A++

Ok this should help everyone out with adjusting the TYC projectors. On the low beam there are two screws that are snug with the plastic on eack side. Those are for the adjusting. The screws closest to the fenders on each side are for the height adjustment. The screws on the opposite side closest to the engine are for centering. I don't remember which screws to what for the high beams. Hope this helps you guys out.

Mike

Sounds like projectors with a HID kit would be even nicer.
