Default HIDs problem...need help

A headlight retro fit will fix your problem

How do you figure? He's probably running a Chinese eBay HID kit too, which might be the problem altogether.

You have headlight housings meant for halogen bulbs, not HIDs. Get a projector retrofit and I'm sure your HIDs will look great.

you will need do an adjustment for your headlight.
or... get a 55w hid. if you have budget, go for retrofit.
