Default HID Question

I did the H10 fog ligth conversion and the low beam headlight replacement because I wanted matching at 6k color temp. The problem is that the low beam now has a focal point. It always had a flat wide beam. Since I did not do the install I am not sue what is wrong. Is it possibly not in far enought or in too much. The bulb is a D1C which in reading many have used it is the same as D1S.

Any thoughts?
Joe

This is in Z06 and general section as well!!! Sorry!

6000 Kelvin is darker than stock, so at night they aren't as effective. I had 6000K in my car~for 1 night! Changed back to stock because the color lights are junk.
