Yeah I went and educated myself after posting that. I haven't had issues with hot spots or the beams not being wide enough, the only thing that has bothered me about these lights is the angled cut-offs. Althought that makes more sense if it was designed to be used with an H1 halogen bulb though.
At any rate, I'm happy with the end result of the halogen projectors with modified cutoffs for a car that I drive at night very, very, very infrequently. Definitely not worth the additional cost to go to an HID projector.
EDIT:
Yeah I have hot spots like this in the center of the beam:

But modifying the cutoff means I no longer have those blinding upticks to the right. If it was a daily I'd care, but for how I use this car I'm happy with my solution. Dropping mad money on fancy lights is pretty far down my list of priorities.
