i just got done installing my projectors and i think i have that same cutoff as you.. why isnt the cutoff straight like it should be? and i think i have 1 ccfl out on both sides 
i think theyre lit but they are a faint purple and i left them on for a good 10 minutes and nothing happened.. god damnit

Well I will tell ya that I can sure see the signs on the side of the road a LOT better then the old projectors. Yes the cut off looks like ****......but it definitely helps out when reading signs.
Yeah true. I just need more time to aim them, which I did not have this time down in Calgary.
My HID's are 6000K...as stated in my signature.

They are pretty bright....and I get good distance out of them as well. Any higher and people seem to find that you lose the distance on the lights.

The output with the halogens was pretty good considering they were halogens. The HID bulbs are not that much longer then the halogens. The cutoff was pretty much the same as the HID's.

Nope.......about the same.
I didn't actually. I just really made sure the rubber cover was on properly, and it has not moved since. The only "modification" I made was a slight cut to the bottom of the cover to put the wires through for the HID lamps.
I will be making a write up shortly though for the install.

About half way down they show a PERFECT cutoff......and oddly enough it looks just like mine do. Hmmm.......wierd. LOL
Mine need some minor adjusting.......but sure does look like the good cutoff to me.
I wrote up a "How To" for the new projectors......just have to wait for it to get approved. Make sure to look for it!

I have both in. At a distance your beams should meet and look like one beam, that way you do not get any shadows in the distance with the lighting.
