OEM HID Aiming (Cutoff)

On the 7th Gens with the stock HIDs, how should the cutoff look? If you can post pictures of your stock HID cutoff that would be great.

Like this?


Or this?

Not the top pic, bottom is a bit better. It's pretty difficult to get them perfectly across.
The main thing is that the effective cut-off isn't too high or low. I forgot to measure mine before the Eibach install but since that drop is too huge it didn't seem be an issue. Sorry I don't have any pic's available.

The top pic is correct, they're supposed to be aligned straight across like that so that there's a single cutoff, take a look at this post for reference.

Another example is the projectors I had on my Taurus:

Yep I misstated about the top pic.
But after further reading they are technically both correct as they do step up to the right for left hand drive cars and actually have (2) cut-offs left and right.

Top or bottom pattern?

I guess my question is does the cutoff look like:

Code:
         __________________    
________/_______/     

or     
                    _________    
           ________/   
__________/
