trust me man I went through the exact same thing. We still have a different set up, cause on mine the part that comes on with my headlights doesnt blink, only the little peaks on the sides do. If u have em how I think you do, I think that way is better, so I might redo mine.

a write up on this would be really simple with only about 3 necessary pics...someone should do it for a custom title =]

^did you do any retrofitting to the projectors? the cut off seems pretty clean there...

you know what one of my ballasts burned out so I'm just running silverstars right now.

Here's some pics of the cutoff with the HID's, they were somewhat clear and pretty clean but you could see some glare at the top of the garage door...not a lot tho, they were not dangerous and ridiculous like peole said. I likee them a lot, they were really bright =]
