look at that straight a$$ line, that is an awesome cutoff IMO are those HID's or projectors?I'm guessing HID, I have never seen a better cutoff on an HID install ever.I want some like that wouldn't not be bad at all. unless you're part moth and stare at the damn lights then that's your problem. They're not pointed to the sky like some d-bags.So haters keep hating and you can eat my sealed beams for all I care. I think the OP needs to re-aim them or work on a good cutoff on them. Cutoff isn't entirely based off the bulbs you get, it also relies on the housing too. i would either mold some abs plastic for eyelids or thick under coating painted on.

such confusion here. people thinking "HID" and "projector" are the same. do some research.

I saw the thumbs of the pics and about threw up in my mouth. Only thing that held it in was the surprisingly overwhelming amount of people that are not retarded.

I love the whole, "well they're idiots so I can be one too" mentality.

maybe your hids would look better if you tern the projectors upside down. looks like there might be a better cutoff that way.

whatever. They look fine. No more annoying than retards that drive around in fog with bright lights on or bright lights on all the time in general. If you don't know how to drive around bright lights you shouldn't have a license.
There is the cheap fvk way and there is the right way. The right way does require a few dollars to be dropped but overall, it's much better than being a jacknut who thinks 14,000k HIDs in some 2.99 special eBay housings is the way to go. I did my J30 projector retro for about 150 bucks (HID kit, projectors and housings).

The J30 pattern:

*its still daylight outside, and the warehouse has a sky light cover so its not completely dark. also i;ve only had one side is done. haven't adjusted the height. but can you notice the clean cut projector line its producing in the warehouse. compared to my first post of the hid's.

^^thats still too high isnt it?

and i googled this.. are these the USDM kouki projector cutoffs with halogen?

and im not sure but is this the difference between HID and projector:projector just has a glass ball thing at the headlight that spreads the light out farther and widerand HID is a bulb that uses electricity and a different gas and makes light with a high intensity discharge?!idk im tired and havent slept all night
