at least there IS a cutoff, however disjointed it is... i have my lights focused down to the road but it's still bad. zorro, didn't you have some shields made for your HIDs in the OEM housings? if you do, you should definitely give them to me once you put in your new lights.

Zorro, yah i didnt think you were getting a cutoff anywhere nearly as bad as mine, since you mentioned that your cutoff was almost what a true hid cutoff should be like.
I'm guessing that you are getting a cutoff like this ______/___/?
Are you doing a projector retrofit?

Ok so I received the third version of the lights last week and here are the side by side comparisons.
I am going with the middle lights, the smoked version.
Below is a layout of the HID setup I will end up with once installed
(yellow HID fog bulbs and high beam HID bulbs are in shipping)
Since I am going with the middle lights, the end clear and blacks are for sale including matching corner lights.
Fantastic price of $240 shipped!!! Buy em now!!
New matching sig!

Sooo tempting dude! I would love the clears!
Also, can you detail a little what your doing with the HID bulbs?
Do you need new projectors for the H1/H7 and the H1 fog? Are there certain brands/whatnot you are using? Does this require custom work?

Fogs point down and spread light on the ground, yellow is easy on eyes, no glare issues there.
Low beam projectors H& are decent compared to halogen setup now...may retrofit TSX or other 2.5" projector if I want PERFECT. Later though...no rush, these are good.
High beam is for highway and flashing, just need crazy output, do not care about glare cause you never have them on when oncoming traffic can see em. High, bright and far FTW.
Brands, nothing in particular, good quality though...plug and play-ish, no real custom work.
Hope that helps.
Buy the clears, ****.

Since you're using HID's also for your Hi beam, I suggest you get a set that fires-up right away, no warm-up delays. You won't be able to fully utilize the flash function due to the delay. Good luck.

Stormy, you can do my black headlight set to keep your look going or you can go with my clear set....let me know.
mbnz, I went to revspot in richmond, bought a couple of kits from him, install was done originally on my first HID kit in Calgary then all i had to do was plug and play for the new kit.
Saijin, correct...the lights come with all necessary bulbs (halogen)..city, high, low and fog.
Lorinser, that is not an issue. Flashing will still be effective (much more than halogen even without a warm up) and high on the highway is for extended periods anyway....thanks for the concern though.
