Default HID HEADLIGHT MODS

I recently purchased projector headlights for my 2006 Accord online and installed it along with prolumen HID kit...the link to the headlights are below:

http://www.xtralights.com/inde...D=307

After I installed the HID's on these headlights, I noticed that it projects a very strange beam pattern. I went back to the website where I got the headlights and at the bottom of the page it says that "these headlights are designed to work with halogen bulbs and professional modifications need to be made if used with HID's"...but I want to know what type of modifications??? The HID's that I installed are 8000K and the headlights make it look really dull...I don't think 8000k HIDs are that dull...also my driver side is brighter than my passenger side headlight. And not just that, but most of the brightness from the HIDs are right infront of the car instead of at the right distance...I tried adjusting the low beams but there are literally no adjustment levers or anything. The following link is the picture of the beam pattern it projects...it's as if its possesed...lol. Somebody know what could be the professional mods required to get the optimal result...please let me know.

Not to be offense but thats what you get when u buy those crappy halo projectors. Its the projector that is poor qaulity. Even if you ran halogen bulbs, your going to get less output then you would with your stock headlights. Retrofit is the way to go

Aftermarket projector headlights suck big, fat, hairy, disease-ridden donkey *****.

See the projector is cheeply made and does not "project"like its soposed to do... next time do the retro fit if you really want it to look good and be able to see who made your hid kit and what size bulb does it use?
