That's actually a pic of my car.
The kit fits great, however the modification I had to do to my car was to trim off a protruding bolt. The bolt is part of the pivot for the headlight bucket.
The headlights are amazing during my midnight mountain runs. The low beams were about the same in output as my hella e-codes with 80/100w hella bulbs. The high beam is at lease 2x more light as the e-codes.
I have been to the dragon about 3 times with these and worn out a set of tires without a single problem out of them.
A+ product

Uh, and most modern cars have problems with the headlight plastic fogging and yellowing out. They may be 99% clear when new, but after a bit of weathering not so much.

I agree for the most part considering the only time the headlights are exposed to the elements are at night. So the weather degradation should be substantially retarded. But it's still going to happen.
I also get that you chose plastic for the superior performane. But the over engineer in me would rather go glass so I can count on no worse than 76% for the long term.
Also, let me say to cbrok:

Sidebar, have you thought about creating a kit like this for FB's? If you can source a round housing shallow like what you did for the FC (compared to Sakebombs), perhaps that might come together.
