I've got that same MOMO in my AE86. It's a great wheel.
Nice job on the level switch, I never got around to installing mine yet
And I'm sorry, but the beam pattern with those HID's looks absolutely hideous. To the point that if I saw you on the road, I'd be tempted to follow you, find out where you lived, and shatter them because they are so blindingly mis-aimed. Or report you to the cops. And being H1, they've got no low-beam, so you wouldn't even be able to claim they were aimed wrong. Why are you using H1 capsules, when the EDM lights use H4 bulbs? The geometry for the reflector and lens is wrong for H1's because the distance from the base to the filament is different. You should be getting a sharp cutoff on the light pattern, with no hotspots or glare pointing towards oncoming traffic, nearly the opposite of what your photos show.
I've got some photos around somewhere of some Osram Hyper 70/65W bulbs (just as illegal as your H1 HIDs, but not blinding to others) in my EDM housings; I'll try to get them posted.
