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..

question when you beam on a garage door on a level surface how you adjust the projectors.
i mean like by Example the light stop at a ft above the garage door and a ft below surface that i know that it is center.
do yall guys take your stock beam them to some surface and mark it and put your projectors and try to have the same mark as the stock ones on the surface.

why is it necessary to remove the front bumper, is it because you cant reach something or what? also what is an average time of just installing them since i read that it took someone 45 min just to adjust them?

also which bulb is for the low since i got mtecs for them

i did but i wish people would make a diy explaining all of this and putting it in the diy section then no one this would be necessary, but no one seems to take the time to make them anymore

DIY is for something you actually DO YOURSELF, there's nothing DIY about which light does what, that information should be in the box that came with the lights. But you know what, if it takes 5 minutes to figure it out on your own, it only takes 30 seconds to post a thread and have people answer your questions, so go for it.
