Projector light install and alignment
Im looking at updating my crappy lights to something better and keep the flip ups. I came across these from topgearautosports.com. I am considering getting these since they are only 150 for a set.

My questions are:
Is there a page for installation and how do you align the lights to where you want them?

I have similar projectors. Cost me more when I got em. Mine are ACA projectors. As far as installing them u need to remove I think it's 4 bolts that hold the lens assembly of your OEM
Headlights. The bolts are on the back of the headlight housing. Remove the black plastic cover and you will see them. Then install the new projectors in. It's a tight spot but possible. You adjust the lights the same as the OEM lights. With the rods connected to the whole headlight bucket assembly. I chose the black colored housing and put HID lights in the new ACA projectors. Made a unbelievable difference in light output. Hope this help brother.

The set your looking at are ACA clones that come with Halogen bulbs just like the stock lights. While the projector will improve the light pattern in the low beams it will not increase the brightness from your stock headlights. To increase the available briteness you will need to convert the halogen low beams to HID. I would select 55 watt HID ballasts with 6000k HID bulbs.
As to install instructions search CF for "ACA install". There re many install posts, including mine, but the best one is by CF member "Patches" here:

BTW, the "halo" rings are useless on a C5 as the headlights are closed during the day time...................
