I don't know what modifications you have done, but I also had the HID upgrade about a month or 2 ago and it is great. I did not get the high beams either as the regular lights are already bright. However what I did do, was open up the glass lens where the bulb sits and I removed the metal shield piece (not the reflector) that sits directly in front of the bulb. Not I have twice as much light and it allows me to aim the lights lower to insure I dont blind anyone and I can still see atleast 50+ yards in front of me. I have not noticed a different pattern either when I parked my car about 20-25 ft from a wall turned on my lights.
