hrm the cuttoff seems to rise really high on the edges. Looks like it'd have some major glare issues to other drivers.

but blinding drivers in front and both sides of you along with opposing traffic, can cause accidents. Aren't you concerned about safety?

you are blinding people AND light is being thrown upwards which means you have less light projected towards the road. That means visibility just went down. And because you already have 6,000K, you're sacrificing looks for performance.
put your stockies reflectors back in there and throw in some silverstar ultras. You will see better than with your current setup.

GTFO hes not sacrificing visibilty, actually those headlights are worse with halogen bulbs. I know because a buddy has the exact same ones, cutoff is not that bad to the right it shoots abit up you can move the beam a bit. He is planing to mod the cutoff shield so he can get a cleaner look.

words from someone running an 8,000K kit and believing he has the bmw look. But obviously doesn't know what the cutoff shield actually does. the more shield, the less light getting through.

Haha sure man I wanna have that BMW look with an 8000k. I guess you dont know what a cutoff shield is.... Its that little thingy you know? That makes the shape of cutoff of the beam, by modding it (Not throwing more cutoff shield wtf..) for example cutting it or making a new shield of a metal plate he can achieve a better cutoff that doesnt shoot up at the right side.. Get it buddy?

I guess you're still under the impression the better the cutoff, the better it is.
Take a look at the e46 single xenon from older bimmers or mazda6 with xenons.
Now, take a look at the design of stanley-made projectors and u'll see a difference in shields, bowls and lenses. Then spaced out enough, you get a decent cutoff. But I guess i dont know crap.
Keep talking though. To people who know their stuff, you're making an ___ out of yourself. To people new to this type of stuff, you look and sound almighty.

Not at all... I aint saying hes gonna get an OEM cutoff and visibility. I am just posting a that it could be better lmao how could I compare to OEM. Then you just go on your glare-hating bandwagon...

The only headlights worth buying are the 08 projectors...anything else is cheap. If you know what a good cutoff is, and see someone driving with that cutoff (Jlevi), its hard not to laugh...not to mention the light distribution is horribly uneven.

It is not a comparison between OEM and aftermarket projectors, it is the fact you don't know crap about projectors to begin with.
The comparison i did is between OEM projectors with OEM projectors and the way they're designed(shield + bowl). Then look at the intensity between them.
Let me quote someone who knows far more than you do at this point:

By no means is that an insult but a constructive criticism. The optics of HID lighting makes a poor-designed projector look the way it is, poorly designed.
