Default hid kit installed

I just installed my hid kit, doesnt look to bad except the beam gets cut off by the factory housing. anybody run into this? Would the halo housings allow for a full beam? Couldn't find a projector beam.

the only way you'll get what you're looking for is to retrofit a projector. people are always getting plug-n-play w/o projectors. projectors are the key to the HID look everyone wants. you can find some good info here:

i believe there are people there that you can send your housing to and they will retrofit it for you. even if you do it yourself, a complete kit won't be cheap.
