I'm running 4800K bulbs in the OEM projectors, and while the temp is good, the light output sucks. But that is due to the poor projector design. The "squirl finders" throw glare right into oncomming traffic and the spread isn't very wide or very sharp. I will be doing a step by step how-to later this summer when i replace em with a sharper set from an OEM xenon car.

try reaiming them, once I got my HIDs up and running, things were bad until i reaimed them.. made a huge difference.

You guys have to re-aim probably because the bulb focus point is a bit further up. If aiming it down fixes the glare problem I can also imagine the heavy lighting to front floor. Where do you aim the headlights (pic please)?
