Is it possible you're getting less light output @ 6600k than you were with the OEM bulbs?
yes he is, you loose lumens the higher you go in the kelvin scale.

Has anybody on here run the PIAA Super Cobalt HID bulbs? They are supposed to make a significant increase in light output. I am somewhat skeptical as to how much they can improve our headlights, but if anybody out there has them I would love to hear their feedback on their performance.

What should the distance be from the front bumper to where the headlights meet and form that "box?" (like in the picture). I don't know how high or how low I should make my headlights. What's factory?
25 feet away from the wall. The top part of the light on the wall should be 2.1" lower than the centerpoint of our headlights measuring from the ground up.

can honda adjust the headlights and how much. My S came from factory with the driver cut off lower then the passenger side. You can see the difference from the beam pattern on the ground and when parked 25 ft from the wall. Is this normal? Never got in an accident nor removed the OE headlight... Thanks

It's normal.

Scroll up to the crayon pic so you can see how it works.

Wow, this helps me understand why I noticed the right being slightly higher than the left side. I will leave mine alone now.
