alright do you think that one side is brighter than the other because one side is positioned a little bit higher??

It's possible. Check the alignment of the lights against a wall.

I'm waiting for my TYC also. Mine is an 01 sedan. How did you put them on? Did you have to remove the bumper? How long did it took you? What about those extra bulbs(fogs)? Anything would help. thanks

Yeah you have to remove the bumper. Shouldn't take you any more than an hour, or two.

Thanks for the response. Can you give me an idea of where the nuts and bolts are located? I live in Minnesota, so right now slushy snow are everywhere under my car.

I don't know if you are talking about the bumper or the housing, so I'll explain both.

You don't need to completely remove the bumper; only the upper part. For the bumper, simply remove a bolt that is located where the fender and bumper meets: next to the wheel. Also remove bolt holding the splash guard to the bumper: next to the wheel.

Once the bumper is pushed out the way, there should be three screws that hold the housing in place. The screws are located underneath the housing.

I just installed my TYC projectors, looks great. I have one problem, the bulb on my passenger housing fell out of its socket into the housing. The housing is not the low, high or turn signal, but the parking light. The hole is too small so I can't fit my fingers into it, to make matters worst, my windshiled wiper fluid bottle is kinda in the way. Help!

Out of all the aftermarket projectors I believe these are the best. They have a pretty decent cutoff with a HID kit. A lot of the 6th gen guys get these. IMO its not my taste but if you like it more power to you.

These are the bes fit aftermarket lights out there. I suggest getting them if you want brighter, safer lighting. I have HID in them, and these are better than when I had my HID in stock housing. the only bad thing about this is it doesn't come with fog lights.
