The half moon means that they are not in far enough into the projector.

Did you get the proper bulb size?

me and my friend were both thinking that could be the issue but dont know how to solve the problem. i have 9006 hid bulbs for my driving lights and i had to modify the housing a little for the bulb to fit snuggly in it. but there is alot of space between the bulb and the projector lens. i dont know what can be done .

The 95-99's had 2 sets of bulbs no?? One for high one for low, perhaps you have the wrong one in the wrong hole/housing?? Try switchin the hole??

the 9005 doesnt have the lip the 9006 does.

You can cut the lip off the HIDS but i wouldnt recommend it

Stock 95-99 Cav headlights use a 9006 bulb for the low beam and 9005 for the hi beam. The two piece projectors use 9005 for both. I'm running a 9005 HID system for my low beams in my projectors with no problems whatsoever.

Good read for the OP...
