Default Xenon install progress... part 2

OK guys. Finished the driverside and ive been driving around with it for 2 weeks now to see if I have any issues with them or not. I have 2 issues, maybe 3.

1. I am getting a glare with the plastic lens cover. Its not there with the cover off and they are perfect with the cover off. No glare or anything like that.

2. The lens of the projector housing is acting like a magnefying glass. It is starting to burn into the yellow fiberglass housing cover. Its not bad. I need to take a picture to show you what im taking about.

3. Need your suggestions on a cover to cover up the square hole that i have with my round lights. Im still undecided about this.

But for now, here are some more pics with both lights

Not sure why some pics turned out bigger than others, i resized them all the same. Oh well. Let me know what you guys think and if you have any suggestions on to cover up the square hole. Or should I make new covers some how. Im bad at taking pics at night. The lights are off of a audi, so that is what color they are. either 6000k or 8000k i think.
