Yeah, looks like you need to aim them down a lil. Especially with a 55w kit.

^really? down? I was kinda thinking more like up. Shouldn't they be level on a wall in front of you from 20 ft away?

Those look nice, but they do look a bit high from the looks of the first pic. Running HID's without projectors causes a lot of scatter and the folks in front of you will get blinded. I still need to get my fogs done.

Me and a friend did road tests crossing each other back and forth to see how they were to oncoming traffic. He said they werent bad at all, didnt effect him at all. I do have pretty smoked headlights, the silverstar ultras or whatever barely shined through them.

So you say you have 55w 6000k headlights and 35w 8000k foglights...but the headlights seem bluer than the foglights and 55w is supposed to wash the blue out of the light and you even have a whiter bulb in the heads than the fogs...this seems very odd to me. I was to get 55w 6000k headlights and 35w 5000k foglights because i thought the 55w kit would wash the blue out of the 6000k lights.
