I bought my first Philips HID kit back in 2002 for around $650 lol Back then it was rare seeing cars with aftermarket HID kit but now they cost so cheap that everybody has them haha

My light pattern looks exactly the same. Maybe it's no accident.
... I'm not sure why my headlight look weird
That's the normal cutoff line for projector headlights, it's to not blind oncoming traffic while still providing some distance light for your side of the road. The lens on our projectors are not clear that's why the cutoff is blurry. Later down the road I might open up the headlights and swap out clear lens to get more color and sharpness on the cutoff.

While you guys are aiming these lights, make sure they have no less of a drop than 1 inch on a wall at 25 feet distance. Less than that can cause blinding of oncoming traffic.
I have an sTouring so while I have Xenons, they are manual leveling. I have experimented with them a bit and usually keep them on the .5 or 1 setting. There are times when they feel a bit low, but mostly they seem about right. I might attempt to adjust them up very slightly, but they really seem OK so far. I am a little jealous of the adaptive lights that turn when you turn. Maybe I'll get that on the next one. 
^ I'm curious how the manual leveling works. Is it a knob you turn? At first I kind of wish I could manually adjust the height because it was too low, but after adjusting them up some it's a lot better now. I was afraid it might mess up the auto level since I never saw it move before, I then noticed the lights automatically aim down when a passenger gets in the back and aims back up a bit when they get off, or when I'm at a slight incline it'll lower a bit then once on flat road it'll aim back up.
