Default 5000k HIDS on '08 TC!

im not sure if there is something wrong with my hids or something, but i dont believe its bright enough. i didnt reangle the projectors or anything after i put the hids in. when i drive, it isnt that bright, i was wondering if this looks normal or there is something wrong.

Are you supposed to re-angle the projector lense after putting the HIDS in? do you guys think the hids are really bright in that middle area and fade off? normal or no?

thats what happens when you put HIDs into halogen projectors, this is what happens when you put HIDs in HID projectors....

Yeah they are gonna be hot in the middle and less at the sides...........not much you can do short of a retro fit...........they do look like they are not as bright as they should be though.......how old is the kit........the bulbs will loose brightness over time.......justa part of lights..........

a real HID cutoff is actually a big help to see in person..........I finally got a manager at work with a BMW to let me check them out......she thought I was a nut I think.......but they are superior to what we have.......

yours actually look a bit different from what ive seen in the other 08 projectors. you seem to have 2 cutoffs comming from 1 projector (meaning 4 total slopes).
