Can you return them?
Those are going to give you a headache.
-poor output' terrible beam pattern, dim, no real width, poor uniformity
-HID-agnostic
-fog-prone
-leak prone
-Zero product support
-Poor documentation
-poor quality
-lenses will yellow, craze and lose clarity ( crap-to-none UV coating )
-Rice-a-roni
Shop here instead: www.theretrofitsource.com
What you spent would get you into entry-level quality HID projector retrofit - that will simply blow those way...

Most of these are actually worse than stock - it;a all over this board and others if you'd search.

Boy I bet that crushed you.....lol! While they are a bit over stylized they are better than what you had. Also I find the stock headlights to be dreadful and sometimes I check to make sure my lights are on so I don't think you can get to much worse.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I bought a pair of Spyder headlights and put in 6000K HID's and upgraded to 35W quickstart ballasts.. downsides is the halo's dont start in cold and the film on the outside of the lens peeled off. All of this can be fixed if you want to pop it open. Make sure you seal aftermarket headlights, I never had anything get inside nor dew and I have sent them through mud puddles.. but it's always good to take precautions.
I have rigged both HID's into the hi and low beams - 6000K. I plan to retrofit these aftermarket lights as stated - the beam pattern is not clean, but it is night and day vs stock..
Just don't put HID's straight in stock headlights without a projector of any sort.. that's just being a d-bag.
Also my HID's in no way are melting my housings or projectors for being in a halogen projector..
