At last.. these are the pics...
The first pic is the frosted with halogen
the second is the forsted with HIDs
the 3rd is the clear with the HID..
you can see how blurred the HIDs using the clear OEM headlamps compared to frosted.
Ps: The pics are taken about 13ft from the wall

Hmm, i just waited like 20 minutes of my time trying to get the low beam light to fit. yeah, i could not get it to fit perfectly at all...is it supposed to just plug in? or do u have to turn it? clockwise or counter? ughhhh so mad, i think cagthuz might have put the clip on upside down or something cuz i can get the bulb to aim correctly by holding it with my hand, but i cant get it to stay like that

What kind of fogs do you have? Where did you get them, and how much? PM me. They look awesome and match up nicely with the bi-x.

i got a chance to fiddle around with the assembly today only to realize that that black clip actually has FUNCTIONALITY. i had no idea that u twist the black piece to secure it into place. i was turning the h7 bulb the whole time like a dolt, so now the bulb is secure and wont budge. but, im gonna have to wait until tonight to see if its aimed right. if its still aimed too high, will twisting that cap with a screwdriver lower the light beam? or does that only serve left to right adjustment?

Just for reference, what's a good guideline for how high and how left/right to aim your headlights?
Edit: Also, one of the screws to adjust the aiming of the light is covered by a plastic cap, so I can't access the light while it's in the car. I really hope that one is the left/right one. The screw that is covered is the one closer to the fender.

Yeah, sorry, I meant those two screws. Oh, so if my headlight is aimed too high, I can twist the screw with a screwdriver until I'm satisfied with the aiming of the light?

By the way, the clears are a nice change from the frosty's
