Same here on my Mazda 3. Great results and have never been flashed once.
 
Decent results out of the morimoto minis (H1) from TRS. Been using them for a while now and like them. Have 2 sets-- one in the heads and another in the fogs, with selective yellow film over the fogs.

The only issue I ran into is that the focus from top-to-bottom on these is better suited for a sedan or coupe than a taller vehicle. The beam on the fogs is about as perfect as you can get in illuminating at a distance with what appears to be an "even" distribution. In my HLs, they begin to fade before reaching the upper cutoff, which I have conservatively low already.

I'd read that from another forum as well--- they are best-suited for sedans and coupes.

Even with that, they were made a nice improvement over stock--- My stock setup was very difficult to use above 40mph, and I"m not very picky... highway driving was not fun before.

good job on the lincoln!

note--- I purchased DDM lamps and ballasts with the TRS projectors... saves cost. I believe, however, that even the bulb quality from TRS is better-- lighting color has always been so-so in my own experience, and I've seen other HIDs that provide less blue/green and more of a clean, (not blue) white light. It's made me wonder about DDM lamps. That, and, I used a NICE linear power suppy, old school, heavy, well-built, to run the DDM lamp in the TRS projector on the workbench when making adjustments. It was a big 10amp device. Something in that ballast backfed the power supply enough that it cooked it in a matter of seconds. So.... the DDM ballasts don't have much in terms of filtering dirty power from reentering the vehicle.
