buzzwood,
Are you able to take a digital photo of these bars, upload it to photobucket.com or imageshack.com and post the link here?
My first suggestion is to reseat the bulb - pull it out a little, and then re-insert it.

I have an HLP6163WX/XAA DLP when I removed the bulb and reinstalled the new one I discovered Big thick vertical bars all across the screen when I powered up. Any help would be appreciated.
