Hot Spot From Headlight?

I've been searching and searching for a solution to the problem I'm having which is when the HID's are on, I look on the ground on front of me and there's this bright spot there from my left headlight.

I did replace the driver side's headlamp housing with an aftermarket one (Honda OEM was too expensive). Could it be the housing? Or the possibility that I may have touched the bulb with my bare hands?

I currently have both lamps off my car due me to black housing them. If there's anything I should do before putting them back together, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for everyone's input.

Thanks Josh.

I guess I will be looking into some OEMs. Any suggestions on where I could possibly get a decent price on them?

try junkyards or just browse ebay weekly to see somebody if anyone is selling a used one.. if the plastic lens on the depo ones are clean, swap that over if the plastic lens on the OEM one are beyond salvageable..

Awesome! I found some on eBay for $139 + shipping! I might just order those.

In the meantime, I'll post some pictures in a few hours to show everyone how the housings came out.

My passenger side lens has some deep scratches from an accident last year, so I'll be wet sanding, polishing and waxing that lens. I think I might just do both since I'll already be at it.
