The last part of his comment is misleading. Projectors will do a lot more than clean up the edge. But it sounds like those are out of your budget. The issue could be caused by the headlight itself being that its tinted or that they weren't installed correctly. Double check the cables to make sure something didn't get plugged in incorrectly.

To me they look like typical plug and play HIDs which aren't really that great for light output. Maybe a little dimmer than usual. So double check everything. If anything swap your oem headlights back in and install the HIDs to see if its better.

You keep the housing and install projectors that I linked to TRS earlier and you'll have a setup that's droolworthy to 90% of the population of this forum.

I tried a set from them before and I failed miserably because I used they full size projectors kit that you have to cut the back of the headlight hosting n figure your own way of mounting them. It was a disaster fort me and I'm pretty smart. I wanna do it again but I'll get the mini's do I can just pop it in the stock bulb hole and put on their threaded collar then adjust with factory adjusters.
