    Here is another vantage point focusing on another tree that is about 50 yards further than the first one.
    Heads only, heads and fogs, heads fogs and light bar

    And one just driving down the street showing off the heads a little better. You can see the sharp cutoff along the building

    Alright I googled it first but didn’t see anything specific. (Yes I’m a noob but learning) can someone explain cutoff? I’ve pulled some from context reading around but someone talk to me like I’m slow please.

    go look up any hid or led projector pic. the light has a sharp line between light (below the line) and the darkness (above the line). there is a "shield" inside the projectors that controls this so it doesnt blind oncoming traffic. when you put the brights on the shield folds down and you get the full effect of the light. look at the last pic i posted, the light is all below a line. the projector focuses the light so it not just a flood
    good projectors have a razor sharp cutoff line that people like. snoop around the retrofit source website and they will have a bunch of pics of the different cutoffs between the different projectors.
    hope i explained it well
