if the 2nd one was spread more out it would be better and for some reason it seems the aiming is way off, also the cut at the top isnt as pronounced either

i like 2nd better though cuz it would be more useful for driving

although mines ownz you all
why does it need a cut off line...i would like to use full advantage of the light..weither it be 100 feet in front of the car. why would i want to cut it at 50 feet?

Lets all drive around with spot lights pointing all over and not give a care who they might annoy.

Police? Naw, they'll never pull you over for it either.

I can clearly see the cut off on my non Xenon and on Tonys factory Xenons.

DOT spec cutoff still allows some light to bleed above the cut off line. ECE spec has a cleaner cutoff and virtually no light bleeds above the cutoff line.
