Default Please Help!! Hid Install Problem!

Hey everyone. Someone please help me. I just installed my hids on my 97 CL, and it looks all messed up. I got the D2R ballasts with the D2R bulbs, and the beam shoots everywhere and not straight on the road. I tried every possible way to adjust it but finally figured out its not the adjustment. Anyone have had this trouble??? The bulbs seems to securely held in (I added a paper clip as a bracket). I tried just moving the bulbs at different angles inside the housing but still... Can someone check out the photos to see whats going wrong?!?!?! Thanks for all the help.

also it is a housing NOT made for HID's so you will get light beam glare....you can't help it unless you use a projector lense
also it'll turn more blue later on...looks like it is a new set of HID's

He's got D2R's so he doesn't need the light cutoff cuz it has it already and YESSSSSS
A 9006 WILL HELP ALOT BETTER THAN A UNIVERSAL ONE!!!!
