Default Glare & Beam Pattern with HIDs

Obviously the light output is going to be better than stock when upgrading with HIDs but how is the cuttoff/beam pattern with these reflector housings? I can only imagine it to be horrible.

Does anyone have accurate pics of how it lights on the ground?

Default HIDs

I just got a set of H4 HID hi-low beams. The cut off isn't that bad. I drive to work at night third shift. I pass plenty of police cars , watching the local bars and have never been pulled. I have the drivers headlight dropping about 3 1/2" at 30 feet.

Default HIDS

First the EVO hinges are from my Sponsor JT Autostyle aka JT Bonn. The hinges are pretty easy to install. Most oof them say bolt on no mods. All I had to mod was to cut out the edge of the fender. The hinges took abot 3 hours to install with two people. I will tell you they are pretty much for show, as you can't get fat chicks up front any more. Unless you don't looking like driving Ms Daisy.

The HIDS I got from a friends shop up in Chantilly, Maryland. They use a solinoid to control a flap that hides the high beam. The HIDs I have are 8000K so they have a light blueish tint to them. They are easy to put in , it only took about 20 minutes to install them. Mine have relays for each ballast which is wired directly to the battery so you don't have to worry about melting wires. I also fused them at the battery as a precaution.
