Interesting.... I'd take my bulbs out and look and see if anything could be blocking the light anywhere.. I had to do a little modification on my 3rd Gens, but that was just removing a little reflector piece and filling in the screw hole.

Who did you buy your HIDs from? In 1st gen projectors I assume? Mine look like your 3rd picture but nothing like the first.

Looks like the bulb in the right headlight is sitting on a little bit of an angle. I would pop them out and make sure they are seating properly first.

Mind you, with the "extreme quality control" on the aftermarket lights (can you say "Made in China"?) it could be the light itself is a little wonky.
