Agree that making sure the cut-offs are horizontal and matched is important, you will be much happier if they are.
Also completely agree on sealing. I had to go back and re-seal mine as they got condensation in them. The butyl seal didn't seem to be enough I ended up going over the top with clear silicone. They seal now.
I would personally recommend picking a lower K value. Perfect for creating visible light for the human eye is about 4300K. But most people prefer the whiter light. once you start transitioning into blue you are loosing visible light. I am running I think 5500k, and they work well for me.
Edit: Wiring. If you got this from The Retrofit Source, their wiring is easy to follow. It can get a little involved, specially if you are wiring up multiple things, but it is do-able. I would recommend wiring one whole system up, and testing it, then moving on to the next. Knock them down one at a time.
