Pic request, OEM HID Projector cutoff line

I am looking for a few good pics of the OEM cutoff line so I can adjust my converted OEM HID IX GSR headlights properly. My cutoff line/s seem off and I'm not sure how to properly adjust. Right now it looks like a flight of stairs from about 20 feet away lights aimed at a wall) Shold there be 2 slanted portions one per side or only one total on the left?

i guess you need to make it sound simple.... until then, dont think you are gonna get a lot on input. Just my opinion.

There should be two slants (one per projector). So you should have two slants lined up with each other.

should they look like this ____/------/------ or like this ____/------- (kinda lol)

Taking a pic sitting the car with the lights on about 20-25 feet away from a flat wall will be all I need to see. Just showing the cutoff from the drivers perspective.

Ive extracted these pix from Lightwerkz website.

I think Caesar has modded his fair share of headlights so he knows what he's doing. More headlights than evodave!

The headlights in question here are a set of JDM VIIIMR by the looks of it.

The OEM projectors have been ditched for a set of TSX projectors. At the end of the day, it doesnt matter if your running S2K / TL / M3 / IS250 / GTR35 / pig nose WRX or what ever projector, they should look like this (if aligned properly):
http://www.lightwerkz.net/gallery/ma...serialNumber=1

So long as:
- The bottom of the "step" from both projectors line up
- The top of the "step" from both projectors line up

Also:
If the same distance from the "step" on the LHS projector to the "step" on the RHS projector can be maintained the further away you move from the wall then you know they have been aligned parallel. This is what you are aiming for.
