Just recently installed the TYC projectors with Philips HIDs. Looks awesome, but the beam is way too high. Don't wanna blind people too much. There seems to be two adjustment screws for High and Low beam. But can't seem to bring down the low beams.

Am I missing something?

Since TYC faqs don't have much info or the instruction manual is kinda lame.

top screw is for up/down adjustment, bottom screw is for side/side.

When I adjusted mine, it seemed like I had to adjust both screws some to get it to adjust the way I wanted. I just kept adjusting little by little until I had them right.

park you car about 25 feet from a wall, preferably white so its easy to see. HID lighting stardards are 3 inch drop from your headlight to a wall 25 feet away. Try covering up a headlight with a blanket or something and do one headlight at a time, then check to see if their about level.

I personally adjust the passenger side headlight just a hair up from the other one since thats how most non-HID factory lights are adjusted.

Thanks will try to see if i can get it right.

Still having issues. Apparently the two adjustment screws are only for Highs. Any one know if there are two more adjustment screws for lows?

I really need to adjust the projector part of the headlights. The HIDs are pointing to the sky instead of the ground.

NEED HELP!!!

lights are currently like this | \ .

Thanks.

I think the HID low needs to be adjusted any ideas

in the pic you posted, remove the plastic cap off the back middle, there are more adjustment screws for the low beam underneath. These are the ones you need to adjust.

vietfella

Thanks for the info. Thats what i figured. You wouldn't know what type of screw is holding that cap would u?

Hey man. I have the exact same headlights for my 98 Civic and I'm having the same problem. I tried adjusting the two screws on the back and it only moved the high beam. I didn't realize, however, that there were more screws behind the plastic cover for the projector. Just wanted to thank you guys for discussing that...I'll try that too. It's a Phillips screwdriver for the cover, by the way.

Could you post pics when you got them on?

vietfella

pic of the lights or how to adjust them?

yeah ended up removing the headlights to get to the backing cover. such a PITA, but all is good now.

hypertensor25

Yeah, it sucks that you have to remove the front bumper and then the headlights just to access the screws for the caps....but they're so damn good lookin'. Speaking of pain in the ***, anyone ever changed the fuel filter in their Civic? Did it myself for the first time, and almost went berzerk! Took me about 2 hours.

damn, man, when I did mine last month it was all over start to finish in like 15-20 minutes...I would suggest getting a manual and following the directions rather than try and figure it out yourself.

But excellent choice on the lights I had them on my old hatch(the non HID ones)

Well, I bought the car 2 years ago(98 Si), and I just changed the fuel filter for the first time last week. The bolts for the fuel lines were seized and I had to reef on them...and everything is in such a precarious place - I had to lay on top of the engine and reach around a bunch of components to undo them. Other than that it was simple plug and play.
