I think Mike (camelll) had some. Glare was minimal and the cutoff was excellent.

Its actually perfect while driving. High enough on the passenger side to light up road signs but low enough not to shine into peoples windows or mirrors.

I will lower the passenger side when I get a new set of headlights in a few months. I didn't want
to cut into the reflector housing at the time to lower it more. I was surprised too at how low they
came out.

It may be hard to understand what I am saying so I will post a pic of the cutoff in the RHD projectors and hope this helps.

The first pic, 3 black circles shows how the h4 grooves are rotated to the right allowing more light to shine on the left and less on the right. You can see the cutoff shield how it is angled. The shield is on the bottom but when the light comes out of the projector it is upside down. The housing was sitting flat for this pic.

2nd pic is the housing sitting flat so you can see how the cutoff would look in a RHD housing. This would probably work without blinding oncoming traffic but the proper way would be to have the cutoff shield going the opposite direction, I don't know if they make these or not. Would need to ask someone who has stock hid in RHD housing.

3rd pic is the same projector in a LHD housing, 3 black circles show how the h4 grooves are flat. It looks like it goes to the left but it is because the whole housing was rotated when I took the pic, but it is not rotated left or right. I hope this helps. If you have any more questions you can pm me or post in here if brian does not care.

Brian, you should adjust that drivers side, you will see a huge difference in the way the road lights up.

Thanks for that Camel , but if i can't get the right cut off , then it's not worth the risk .
i do to much night driveing , to take short cuts on lighting ,
not to mention the fact it would not get a road worthy cert like that .
which it requires to pass every 12months .

After you remove the lens, the reflector and bulb clip it just slides right in.
