Default Crappy highlight bulbs?

right side is cleaned. left is still dirty.


look at the outter lights... compared to the highbeams
why is that stupid rectangle there? (if u know what i mean)
is it because its a crappy bulb?

the outter ones are 7000k, inners are 2500k

should i just get rid of the rice bulbs?

That's the way the projectors are. All Integras are like that. However, if you want better light output, stick with the stock bulbs. Seriously. The more tinted (ie. blue) the light is, the less light that is actually projected to the ground. If you don't believe me, read this:
