My rotation is off as well, I must have levels them on an unlevel surface.

Low beams (I know my alignment is off, I didn't trim enough so they're eternally adjusted like / \, but it's hardly noticeable on the road):

Here are my cutoff pics.. I just tossed my projectors into my headlights without doing any mods to them because I didn't have time.

First, a shot of my old HID setup. Prolumens 9006 PnP kit with 35w ballasts and 6000k bulbs (Keep in mind that these headlights also have eyelids, which eliminate a LOT of glare, and I've also aimed them lower to reduce glare to oncoming drivers):

New setup: Morimoto H1 Bi-Xenon projectors, Morimoto 35w ballasts, and 5000k Morimoto H1 bulbs. I also got a pair of CCFL rings, but I broke both of them during the installation/aiming of the headlights :fail:
Actual cutoff (same distance as first pic with pnp kit)

And a pic to show the actual distance from the wall:

If anyone is considering an entry level projector retrofit, the Morimoto H1s are the best all around option. On top of that, the service I received from the guys at TRS.com was amazing, hands down one of the best vendors I have dealt with online. You just can't lose with this setup!
