great pictures. did you have to aim it down alot from stock settings?
now if only someone could post the 55w low beams. I know everyone says its too bright but I have yet to see a picture posted of a p5 with'em.

55w is just a LOT more headlight than anyone needs for street driving... thats why its hard to find a pic of em... very few ppl buy them. you're already getting more light with a 35w kit...

If it works for you then its all good! I guess if I ever want to flash somebody who might be blinding me then I'll have that option. Thats the only real reason I got the hi/low kit. Guess its not that bad if you don't mind an extra $20 bucks.
I saw in one of these 20 pages you said you live in OC about 70 miles from the DDM warehouse correct? I googled it and im 68 miles exactly. We might just be neighbors!
I had to to aim it down 1/4 to 1/2 a turn on the screwdriver i used on the adjustment thing, weird thing its still a little bit higher than my low beams which is high to begin with!

Yea, I'm in the OC, near Knotts! Wish I was closer to the DDM warehouse so I could just drive there and replace my lights. With work, that is impossible!

my little brother says its illegal to get HIDs and keep my stock lamp housing, because my headlight housing isn't made for HIDs, and the reflectors will blind people.
Is this true? Do I need to buy a new headlight housing inorder to install HIDs?
would this be true for my mom's 00' niassan maxima as well? She doesn't have HIDs.

That may be true, but I don't think 75% of the people that put in aftermarket HIDs get projector housing. I would bet good money that those people don't experience too much hassle from cops too especially if the HIDs are properly aimed (down).

technically true, but its only enforced really if you catch a cop's attention with them. I've been pulled over twice with mine, and followed numerous cops at night... yet to have it mentioned
more like +98%..

whats the difference between the housings? If I paint over the reflector, will it take care of the problem? is that how people make their headlights smoked/black ?

the housings are designed to reflect a certian way, no, you cannot just paint over it...

yeah, I don't think your average cop would be able to spot a 4000K HID... 10000K on the other hand and you're askin for it.

but its illegal to have them in the wrong housings

you won't find 10000K bulbs in a sock housing anywhere.

where can i buy a housing for HIDs for my 02protege?
is the housing what creates the circles in the headlights?
if not, what do I have to get to get them circles in my headlights?
