set your camera for longer exposure (if you're using a digital camera that allows changing exposure) They dont look too bad.

When you retro'ed the projectors in, did you have to shave off the headlight's shroud a bit?

I'll try that and get back to you but I shouldn't even be on CL right now.

Remember when we talked on AIM a while ago? I showed you a picture of the shroud and it was cut by whoever I bought it from. They cleared everything after I shaved the turn signal part a bit. So they look like they stick out enough?

Oh yea I forgot about that.

Look at your car from the side. Your head should be about headlight level. Are you able to see the projector lens from that view?

Yeah, I can see shroud sticking out and the projector lens is not covered. I might swap some 4300k bulbs in to see if there is a difference.

I have Polarg M4's and cops have not give me probs yet... hopefully they don't...

I think it really depends on where in Cali you live. If you live in the so cal area where the tuning scene is huge then I would say you have more of a risk. I was hassled in the parking lot twice and it wasnt even a car meet. They noticed that my parking lens' were white and not orange. I personally think the M4's look more blue then white. I may try the M6's but the bulb draws more current.

Well if I was living there in Cali (or anywhere else) then I need not worry since my the bulbs light output look somewhat alike. Nothing obvious as u said.
