If it's the direction you can tilt it vertically and horizontally with some white knobs that are behind and on top of the housing

hmm... I don't know about that :S Is it maybe the intensity/temperature on your kit? Did you by chance move the direction of the bulbs when installing?
I have a 35w 6000k kit and I don't see any glare... where is it coming from?

I see my on the side when I drive in the tunnel or garage I get glare on the walls it almost looks like eyebrows making that light but its not. I have 55w 6k DDM Tunning.
Should I move my bulbs around?

I haven't driven mine through a tunnel so I can't compare... but my last car had factory HIDs and if I recall correctly they projected what I would say looked like a rectangle in front of the car... so maybe it is normal... however, you might want to try taking it to a shop to get the angles checked... or, I think there was an explanation here on how to do it yourself... but just to be safe, I would take it somewhere... it should be quick and inexpensive.

Hey Andrusha, I have 55W DDM Tuning kit also, did you get the error canceler with that? Also, for some reason I couldn't get the bulb to light up more than 5 secs, do you happen to know why?

Yes you do need error canceler that would make your bulbs function properly.
Just plug those in and you should be set to go.
