I installed the housings, same as you, but kept the supplied halogen bulbs (clear). They work very well, concentrating the light much better than the OE sealed beam. The low beam has a very hard cut off (for a halogen bulb) that is probably the reason that HID kits work well with these housings. Took a few pics, but the difference between the oe and the kit just doesn't show well in pics, so I am not posting them. Just be assured that the kit makes a difference you will appreciate when driving. In fact, I am going to raise my low beams because the cut off is quite a bit lower than the the OE, and I feel a little more distance can easily be had without blinding on coming motorists.
Are the bulbs you used a higher wattage than the 55/60 watt bulbs included with the housings?
I paid $139 for the high and low beams delivered, including the clear bulbs and pig tails. The high and lows are available individually, if you like.
