O.K. a1exus, last question (at least from me) are your new bulbs
"D2R or D2S"?
Because looking at the several pics you provided, the light appears to be blasting thru from every angle! Like a flood light. I now understand that the D2S would probably do this since it does not have those "strips" painted on like the D2R used in "projection" applications. So apparently the D2S is going to throw out more light output due to it not having that strip on the bottom....................?

Isn't the D2R used for reflector housings and the D2S used for projector?

No I'm afraid you guys are misreading my post! It is very clear: I now understand that the D2S would probably do this since it does not have those "strips" painted on like the D2R" What's messed up about that? Anyway, after speaking with my aftermarket shop guys here in Dallas, they say that just replacing the factory bulbs with these "8000k" bulbs will work, but WILL NOT BE AS BRIGHT UNTIL YOU UPGRADE THE BALLAST TO! Can someone confirm or deny this? So our factory ballasts won't power up the bulbs sufficiently???

TXSTYLE, what enginyr and I were talking about where you messed up was in your second graphic you posted. You said "D2R without strip." D2R has the strip, so it should have been "with strip."
