Show us your cutoff

Hope this hasnt been done yet but, Been seeing alot of retro fits, havent seen a thread showing off the cutoff line and the work behind the retros, this will also help other decide which projectors to buy for their retros, and who they can contact for help in there area if needed

Strictly people who have done retrofits, we dont want to see your HIDs in stock halogen housings YOU ARE GLARING, and dont fill up the page with only ur retro 5 pics is more than plenty to see the work u have done.

please give us the model projector, shrouds, housing it was retro'd in along with the color temp and wattage of the HIDs.

I will start:

Projectors: E46 Bi-Xenons
Headlight Housings: blacked out Cefiros
HIDs used: 50W 4300k HID kit
Shrouds: non so far







the cutoff of the pass. side projector

Sorry, I had to, Honestly.
Funniest part of that is that you actually went outside, set up your saw and took a picture for a joke that no one thinks is funny.

Mr Blue Sky, were you on level ground at 75 ft? If yes, then you are blinding the crap out of people past 50 ft!

sorry for not explaining the first picture. My car is on an elevated surface of a parking lot adjacent to the one that the wall sits on. the elevated area is about 6 ft above the lot that the wall stands on. It was the only safe(keyword SAFE) area that had a wall near me. My cutoff pretty much follows the DOT regulations, which I think is 3" drop(from the projector height) at 50 ft or something like that

Yet you are hosting it.

There is nothing you can say to redeem that post except concede that it was unfunny.
