They rely on the factory halogen bulb to have the cutoff built into the glass.

While not the best, the projector housings at least do provide much more complete cutoff than any reflector housing, I'm not quite sure why you feel I am arguing with your particular setup?

I think we misunderstood each other? As I posted earlier in this thread, I believe he would greatly benefit from a projector housing.

I can do that too

I'm not bashing you as a person, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I'm just not going to bullshit you and say anything other than what I think. I personally feel its better to here constructive criticism rather than undue praise.

You're not using HIDs for hi-beams?

Most people don't, unless they run dual/bi-xenon.

but with a nice set of HID's, you have better light output with your low beams (HID) than you ever did with your standard bulbs in low AND high beams.

What the fuck is that? Really? But if the cut off is really low then the light, no matter how much better the light output, won't reach out as far. Which I think is more important.

they make HID kits for high beams, but why bother if you dont really use them that often?
