Default Possible to get a headlight cutoff?

Comming from extensive background with the 96 es300 i got spoiled to a great cutoff line from the headlights. is there any way to get the is300 to produce a nice cutoff? or is inherrant from the reflective time output?

p.s. i have the hid stock setup

I'm saying no since the IS came with a reflector-type housing instead of the the projector-type headlamps with the ES. Without that cutoff shield I don't think you can produce the same effect in the IS.

you can always do an HID retrofit

haha no problem man, those IS HID reflectors are quite bright, I've seen a bunch of civic retrofitting them into their headlights.

I don't know if it can help, but maybe some sort of sleepy eye/blacked out housing may improve the cutoff by reducing glare???
