He missed (or didn't show) the part where you should put your headlights back in your car, after you finished installing the projector and bulbs but before finally sealing them, and check how level the light pattern is in a wall. It's recommended that you get in front of a wall about 20 feet from it with your stock bulbs still and measure the beam pattern on the wall, then use that measure after you install the projector as a reference for leveling them. Most of the times the bulbs on them need to be shim so the cutoff line gets aligned properly with the hotspot of the bulb.

Also, since I have 2 bulbs for each side, how would I wire each headlight so that both hi beam and lo beam OEM wiring is running thru the low beam, and when I turn on the hi-beam's, that powers the bi-xenon retractable flip thing?

The HIDs don't get switched on/off for passing, the motor inside the projector moves the light assembly to a different position when high beams are turned on. When they are turned off, the motor moves the light assembly back to the low beam position.

That way, you have stable 12V and turning on brights during the day is no problem. You need the newest HID ballast, 12v HID relay, and 12v battery in good condition.
