Man those really do look sick. Too bad they're crappy ebay level quality.

awashko · 09-10-2008, 09:48 PM

any updates on this, i am looking to get the projectors for my civic

They should have a crown gear. It's similar in design to the OEM headlight.

im pretty sure they have two screws that you can adjust. i dont know which one is for adjusting it left to right / up and down.

Did you put the headlights on yourself?

If so, I can help you adjust them cause I have the same ones.

Anyways, Since I don't have pictures, i'll explain this to the best of my abilities.

-Take the headlight out (don't unplug em since you'll need the lights on to see if it is high enough)

-Now, since i'm lacking pictures, lets just say you took out the left headlights (facing the same way as the car is. So your not looking at your car)

-Now look at the back of the headlight, you'll see (Start from left side to right side) the turning signal, the low beam, the high beam, and the 3 LED at the far right.

-you'll see 2 silver screws (+), one to the bottom left and one to the bottom right of the low/high beam cap.

-One is to adjust the height, and one is to adjust the angle (I don't think you really need to worry about that)

-I think the height is the one to the left...not sure which way to turn though.

Let me know if you are still lost.

PS: Don't keep the high beam on too long, I kept mine on a little too long and it melted the Halo ring. =/

wtf cant keep the high beam on, isnt that the opint of having them in, is to use them?

07gen8Civic · 09-11-2008, 08:45 PM

I would have gone with a retrofit, but if you can get them to work they will look sick. As far as your highbeam, check all your wires, there may be a disconnected one that is the problem

k__dam · 09-11-2008, 08:48 PM

i think they meant it works, but dont keep them on long as it will melt. Does anyone have any pictures in the daytime for the drl from lets say 30,40 feet away? I like to know if the halos are bright enough

i hope its not if i am driving with them, because here in michigan sometimes we need the highbeams

smcdreamz · 09-11-2008, 10:26 PM

I kept my high beams on usually at about an hour at a time driving from statesboro and back to savannah on the highway.

But the stock bulbs with those headlights were too dim for me so I went with HID. I had to adjust the height of the cutoff cause it was too low, but with HID it's ALOT brighter then regular bulbs.

awashko · 09-11-2008, 11:57 PM

so basically like 10/15 min of having them on most likely wont melt the halos with the highbeams on?

smcdreamz · 09-12-2008, 01:48 AM

It probably won't, but I'm not saying its a definite no.

It might still.
