Message	and where I want to see results is on the ground, those same hotspots and whatnot all translate into poor lighting when contrasted with modern setups. The cutoff is no different trust me, it has the same sort of step out from left to right as your factory lights, it just a better intensity level. I like 'em , dont get me wrong, I just hate to see someone rush out and drop 400+ bucks thinking they are going to get 1000% improvement or results like modern systems and be let down, especially considering the much greater return on investment 400-500 can bring you as far as exhaust, clutch, trim, cosmetics, reupholstering, etc etc. I dont know enough I suppose to understand if it is possible to get different results than what I have without doing something about the projectors themselves.
