Default Project Lexus IS350 HID Retrofit on '00 SI

I am in the process of retrofiting IS350 HID on my civic. These are the new gen HID with D4S, supposedly to be brighter than previous gen. Check it out and tell me what you think. I still got to cleanup the wiring and sand/buff the headlight lens.

All the parts that I got from the Lexus:





Retrofitting :P



Closeup side shots. I took some front shots but too lazy to blur out the license plate number. When I get night shots taken i'll post it up

It's alright to me, the cutoff line still bothers me though. The right side has a slope as u go to the center and I haven't aimed it correctly yet.

Sorry bro, I only took a few shots here and there. Also unless u get the same IS350 projectors as I did, I would be of no help :P. Normally the projectors have the bulbs inserted from the back. These are wierd in that you insert the bulbs from the sides, I've searched and searched for anyone else who did the same retrofit. Couldn't find any, not even cutoff line pics of these projectors.
