Default Projector lens cutoff blue and purple flickering HID

Hi guys I am new to this site. Is there a way to adjust the projector lens or maybe adjust the cutoff to where it has blue and purple flickering just like the BMW and Audi?

I have 2007 IS250 AWD

You can take you hid projector out and switch it with another projector but that you have to modify your headlight to make it fit. another way is to bent the cutoff shield. another way is to put waher in the niples ( the screw that hold the front lens in with the projector body). as you move the len farther from the projector the bluer it get but you will lose the sharpness of the cut off line. I used to own an accord and i did all that. i modified the reflector headlights to fit projectors in and did all sort of washer mod and bending shield to get color. if you wanna see pictures then i can post up the link. go to hidplanet.com/forums. they will show you how to do it. no one is brave enough to do it to our 2gen IS yet so don't expect to see it in that forum.
