So far so good, cut off is good, haven't gotten a picture yet, I only had to adjust one of the headlights a bit. I don't have the halo's working though because I don't have the wiring for those right now, which is fine for me. These lights are how the car should have came, makes it look...classier hahaha. The high beams are super bright too, they light up the whole road when I'm in a dark canyon. I love them.

okay. here it goes.
bought my retros from buyhids. got a special price. was told AS is no warranty. i was like okay.
got them installed and the one side wouldnt work DID EVERYTHING. still wouldnt work. sent them back mike said they worked fine. so i got them again. and instaleld them and only the one side i think worked again. so i unplugged them and the one connector broke off. messaged mike and i sent back again. he said the wire got undone because of shipping. he fixed both wires by soldering a new pigtail on.got them back again. installed them worked fine.! than the pass side started to leak. told mike he said send it back. he "baked" it and resealed it. re run the wires for the halo a little and i got it back. installed them again and they worked fine. but it leaked. so i got fed up and took matters into my own hands. i used 2.5 tubes of silicone and resealed em. havent leaked since.
my overall experience is A++ since he took them back when he said AS IS
i mean the seal job doesnt look to great but i didnt buy lights so the sealant looked good.
i decided to put wire look and electrical tape around the wires just to protect them. worked fine
photobucket is being weird so i cant upload pics

I bought my MH1 kit through a groupbuy from buyhids and did all the assembly work myself as i wanted some custom stuff done without being charged extra. my package did not come with the power inverters needed to run the halos and it came with the wrong shrouds, so mike sent me the needed stuff asap once i got a hold of him. I've bought multiple other items (9007 bixenon 5k HID kit and old headlight housings) from Mike without issues as far as anything is concerned
My Setup
5k HIDs
TRS harness
TRS Mini H1 projectors
Large Gatlin Gun 2.0 Shrouds
halos mounted behind shrouds

I tend to sometimes send the wrong part of miss something. I try and fix it right away though but Im the only one that works with the product as KeiserX13 (Mike as well ) does more of the emails and PMs and such. It gets very overwhelming at times with the amount of stuff i ship out a day, constant building of retrofit headlights, new projects on top of my 40 hr work week and a pregnant wife. I just ask to be patient with me
