My projectors just came, and I plan on installing them soon, but I got some questions. (Keep in mind this is for a Teg, but the principle is the same)

First, I've read many reports that you wire the halos to the parking lights. If that's true, wouldn't the high beams be on all the time?

Also, how in the world do you aim the angel eye or whatever? I can't figure that out for the life of me.

the angel eye "halo" isnt a low or high beam, its a ring of light (an LED ring) that goes around the headlights bulbs and is strictly for looks. BMW's and other cars hvea them stock. You can wire them into the running/parking lights if you want, i have them wired into their own switch, so i think thats better for them since i have my running lights on during the day and you can see the halos during the day so itd just be burning the LEDs out quicker

--- to adjust the beams park infront of a garage or wall(maybe 10 feet)and aim the drivers side beam slightly down and to the right(away from driver's eyes in oncoming traffic) and the passenger side beam straight ahead and slightly down. Was that part of your question?

Sort of... But I still need to know how to get them to move in the first place :D

Thanks flip, but I probably won't use a switch. Makes more sense now.

--- mine have 10mm bolts on top you loosen, adjust the beam, and then tighten in place, you should have a bolt or srew in the housing that holds the lamp you can adjust

Is the 2nd picture the top? - looks like the two openings over the styrofoam packing should allow for vertical adjustment, and I'm guessing your horizontal adjustment is at the top of the first image -

There should be bolts on the back on the headlights, or knobs that you turn which adjusts the beam of light. You need to do it at night with a flashlight because the beam of light moves very slow.

The two openings above the styrofoam are holes for bolts I believe.

Mill$, I'm pretty sure the two silver crank bolt looking things from the 1st picture are what is used. Though, I've turned them and seen no response from anything on the light. Maybe they do just move that slow. What do you mean by use a flashlight?
