I've seen the same statement several times. Does the 2IS have different (inferior) projectors than other Lexus models? I have no complaints with my HIDs.
2011s please chime in!

Reason why I only said 2011s was because my friends o8 didnt have this issue.
Before I installed my garax's I didnt notice it, but after I did I notice it and now its annoying!
Its like a rod looking thing. and after that my cut off line is wavy.
I made a thread about this kinda like this but wasn't really addressing this issue.
But after seeing my friends new 2011 sienna with a nicer output, it started to bother me again haha.
Heres a picture of the night i brought it home. The rod is on the right side.
After:
I dont have a super clear picture of it being all wavy on the right side. but left side is normal.
I know this isnt a big deal, but its pretty ulgy!
Was wondering if any other 2011s have this aswell?

Haha, I've never paid any attention to my cutoff line...the headlights are bright and light up the road very well. I'll have to have a look and see if i'm experiencing the same thing. Ill let you know the outcome

I have a similar issue with my 2011 350, the right headlight seems to be higher than the left towards the middle, but tapers back down towards the right.
My friend is actually in the process of retrofitting these identical projectors in his WRX,
so I'll see if that turns out similar.
First post btw

Your life must be absolutely perfect in every way. It has to be...
To worry about such an insignificant thing and even take pictures of it
The headlamp beams aren't supposed to make a perfect line. Trying to make it perfect would be a waste of effort.
Find something important to worry about. Nit picking thing will only make you crazy

Yes. There are several reasons for this: the fresnel lens makes the beam less sharp and refined, the projector bowl is pretty shallow, and most importantly it's a side bulb entry design.
