i hope you're not using just the halos for driving and actually have hid bulbs in there...

you have to upgrade to HID, don't bother with the OSram Silverstars it doesn't make enough of a difference. do a search there are threads on here as to which kit to buy. but you will lose your hi beams for most which is only a problem if you have to pass inspection(which I do) anybody figure that out short of a custom harness?

the halos and the high beam works perfectly, the low beam lights are the ones that arent bright enough. I can only see about 10 to 15 feet at nignt on low beam. And it is written on the back do not use hid bulbs im confused.

you might need to aim it correctly. looking at the driver side, the projector on the right is for hids and the one on the left is for regular bulbs. i think the warning's just for the regular side since projector headlights are made for hids.

Not really, there are halogen projectors and HID projectors. They might look the same from the outside. But the internals have their slight differences. Placing HID bulbs in a projector designed for halogens will cause more glare than a projector that's designed for HID bulbs exclusively.
But having said that, HID bulbs in any projector would still be alot better than HID's in a halogen reflector bowl.

Thanks guys, that was very helpfull I have to now take out the lights so i can get brighter bulbs most probably the 30%Xenon halogen bluish white ones. One quick question how do i adjust the aiming of the projectors? Do i have to get special tools or unlock anything before i turn the adjusters?

Your lights appear to be aimed too close.. more so the passenger side one. Look where the cut-off is for that side compared to the driver side..
