I'm assuming you put this kit in a non-SSL packaged car? Do you have any pictures of the cutoff line against a wall?

As long as the lamp is adjusted properly, he shouldn't blind oncoming traffic. If he were to put an HID bulb in a reflector housing, that'd be a different story.

Coming from the BMW scene, I know exactly what your talking about. They're products and customer service has definitely been on a decline within the past couple years unfortunately.

no, the pictures are misleading.... its just the camera lens distorting the actual look of the lights

You can tell from the straight on shot the projectors are made for halogens. There seems to be some difference between HID and halogen lit projectors. My buddy put a set of HID's in his 05 Maxima that had projectors and the beam pattern sucked. I had just thought that a projector was a projector.

Looks good, and I don't think ddm is crap, I sealed my own ballast with some silicone II for more safety and set them really high in the engine bay

I have the 4300k bulbs... only lasted 5 months.
Took 3 emails for them to finally reply to my quesitons.
the colors didn't really match. one had a slight green tint, while the other had a slight blue tint on the road. kind of annoying.
cheap though. I guess you get what you pay for?
