HID Cutoffs Extremely Sloppy?
Hey guys, I just bought a new 2011 GSR with SS, and I've realized that my cutoff seems extremely sloppy.
Yes I am well aware of the slant the HIDs have in order to prevent blinding of oncoming drivers.... but mine is even more sloppy.
I know that the HID's are supposed to look something like this
___________// __________//
THIS IS NOT MY PICTURE NOR MY CUTOFFS! This is what I would LIKE mine to look like:

But mine don't even look anywhere near this clean.
Mine sorta look like this...
-------______/ --------________/
Its like somebody took my HID's and rotated them clockwise. (Drivers POV)
It seriously makes the whole thing super ugly and not straight. Like it starts higher on the left, slopes downwards.... then all of the sudden sharply comes up, then begins to slop downwards again. Can more people post shots of their HIDs so I can compare? And does anybody know how to just get a clean straight cutoff line?

Hi,
I just replied to another thread of yours about the power of you HID's.
So, I'm
Guessing your using halogen headlights with HID bulbs and ballasts...
From memory the HID cut off units are different, try fitting HID cut offs in your projectors...
I have swapped cut offs for different reasons in HId equipped Evo's, the one thin I always do it sand the cut off smooth as they can be a little rough on top. Just cleans it up a little. You could try that.
