My retrofit progress in TYC
For those of you not in HIDplanet heres my contrubution
Alright since i havn't seen any real pics of the 92-95 civic TYC housing, i'll post my progressing pics. If you guys got any tips, i'd be happy to hear it!
I pre-heat the oven at 350 and turned it off and put the lights in the oven for about 10 mins. These TYC housing seems to use a differnt kind of glue unlike the OEM ones so they were a Bi*** to pry apart. Took about 1 hour per headlight grr.
The TYC projector on the right and the E46 on the left.
I also reused the bezel from the tyc and jb welded it to the e46. Perfect fit.
I then cut the stock bowl thinking i can JBweld it to the E46 but it doesn't seem like it would work.
Here's a transparent view of what i'm talking about.
Soo i decided i'd do the JnC bracket method but added somthing differnt behind the L bracket so i would be able to adjust the pitch when it's bolted on. With this method i would be able to have movement when moving up and down.
And i took a balljoint piece from the TYC and mounted it on the E46 so it would be able to pitch correctly.
Next up measure where the holes are supose to be then drill some holes
Lines up pretty good
Got my D2S connector and spiced it in
Now for the before and after shots.
Before, H1 plug and play
After E46 singles

Re: (Genuine Rolla)
Your passengerside needs some counter clockwise adjustment.... beyond that, it's a good looking install. I'm glad to see people are finally going to hidplanet and reading up on how simple and easy retrofits can be
