Default HID's on stock reflectors?

so i bought a hid kit for my lights on my 97 Civic LX they are 8k hid kit but the bulb is a little bigger than i can get into the light so i adjusted the reflector inside to make them fit a little bit but when i turn them on one side is shining alright and the other is crappy period is it easy to adjust the stock reflectors because i dont have the money to buy after market headlights or some new retrofits im new to hid kits so can anyone help me out?

You're pretty much using either a needle nose or a screwdriver to play with the reflector cap. Just be sure not to mess with it too much or you will break it off.

Why? Ever keep bending a paper clip and have it just break on ya? Same thing; metal stress fatigue.

If you don't have the money to do it right I would suggest holding off.

Perhaps someone will see this thread and be able to help you solve your issues with your lights though.
