Default OEM Cutoff

Anyone has a pic of there OEM HID Reflector cutoff? Mines flares up at the end on both sides and they are not straight. Very strange.

The flare to the top right is normal for these reflector HIDs. Mind does the same thing as well as all the other GS's with HIDs I've seen. There really is no real cutoff with the reflector HIDs on the GS. It is more controlled, but unlike a projector HID the cut off is nowhere near the same.

Well, both the driver and passenger side both flares up on the right. Look something like this but on both sides:
