Could you do me a HUGE favor, and take some pics of the lights at night. I mean pics of the cut off (like against your garage or somthing) and a pic that shows how wide the lights spreads out on the ground. I am concidering buying the 06 headlights but I want to make sure they are what I am expecting, for the same price I can retro in some s2000 projectors and get a very wide beam patter and sharp cut off. I would just rather look more OEM tho, TIA for any help.

I could do that tonight, but just let me tell you, its a nice wide beam, just at the right level for driving, and when you hit the high beams, you get a HIGH BEAM it makes a huge difference compared to older model headlights that used a reg headlight blub instead of the HID

Ya I get spoiled driving my roommates S2000, the beam is SO wide and so BRIGHT on that thing! Not to mention is has a ton of blue at the cut off and has one hell of an aggressive flicker. If the 06 lights are remotely close to this I will be upgrading ASAP, b/c the pre-06 HID's just plain suck IMO.

Its not just that its aimed to low, its also that the beam pattern is not wide at all! Also the light put to the ground is super dim compared to a full projection system, and also since it is reflector/projector based the cut off sux and means no aggressive flicker.

So who is going to be the first to color mod these!?

I was talkin about color moding the HID's. If you install washers to put the shielf further from the projector, or even bend the shield you get more color out of you cut off, which gives that really sexy blue flicker.

This is what I mean about color at the cutoff:





Could you get a pic like that 3rd one to show how wide the beam is.
