Default 6000k HID in Stock Headlights Cutoff?

Anyone have HIDs in their stock headlights? I'm looking to get a set of HIDs but would like to see how the clean light beam is like and how clean the cutoff is. Pictures please! Thanks.

^ok that would be gen 2 cutoff. for gen 1, the cutoff is not so great, some hot spots but the glare isnt too bad. but that is to be expected if you are gonna use the stock housings, you wont even get that great of a cutoff using aftermarket projectors either.

Sorry I'm talking about the 1st gen, 2004 xb. I'm so used to seeing my girlfriends headlights driving her 05 Acura TL and I love the way the light beam looks clean and straight. I'd want to get that similar effect.

I have the old dual projector headlights with halos and the three led dots on the corner. I just switched back to stock headlights cuz they were foggin up and water and dust would get in them. WHAT SHOULD I DO???? I want HIDs!!!
