Would you be kind enough to post a pic of the cut-off?

Do you have a HID kit in them or are they halogen?

Thanks

No, the light from the halo reflects off of them. They are more like mirrors.... I have the chrome version of these and I love them!

I would buy them if they didn't have those halo rings. It would be a good alternative for people like me. I so badly want to do a retrofit but don't have time, money, or technical skills.

You do not have to plug in the angel eyes. Therefore, its like they are not there

BTW, they do look nice, but I guess its all personal opinion....

They aren't that bad....but you have the civic feel.... with the BMW wannabe look...

I think if you just use the stock headlights and get black chrome in the backing it would pimp and very Lexus still....

It's not bad just that it trys to be too many cars at once...civic/BMW/Lexus..

but just a note, these are halogen projectors, so for OEM HID equipped cars, it's more of a hassle to either change the bulb to what they use... forgot what they are... or somehow put in our big D2R through the tiny opening, which in turn may crack the tube thing on the bulb or just break the bulb...

You get used to it after a while, I'd suggest getting Chrome if you really are getting it...

and as said, you don't have to plug in the halos, and there wont be a light on the dash saying so like the tails.

This site:

claims this is what the cutoff looks like. Not bad if you ask me.

You mean the site's pictures or mine?

My picture doesn't show it, but the beam is more or less focused in some areas, so on the road, you'll see light spread out and 2 big lines of light on the ground shooting out.... it looks weird.

they would be even nicer if you color matched the inside of the headlight housing to match the exterior of the car
