Instead of doing a retrofit is there any way to make the cut off shield act or be like the ones in HID projectors?

in 35w kits, the color sticks. when you go to the 55w kits is where you start washing out color.
5000-6000 will give you the best light output from both kits.

55w kits
take a look at the charts and see what color/lumen output you want.
i suggest buying from these guys cause of thier awesome prices and warranties.
good luck
btw, ill take the pic of my cutoff line in the morning.

Thank you for posting a picture of the cut off line. For some reason people can't or won't get a decent picture of this. Thanks!

^^^ Why spend 900 for new 500-700 for used when i spent 120 for all parts and such needed to acheive just as good as result and more unique?
Price included HID's and projectors.

^^^Sounds like bickering to me... Completely unnecessary.
Anyway, I think it would help to know which projectors to stay away from, and which projectors have decent cut-offs.
Another thing that makes me wonder is that my 2004 Mini Cooper S has HIDs but doesn't have projectors. Could a similar cut-off shield be retrofitted into the stock headlight housing as well?? Hmmmm. I'm just thinking out loud, but what do you think??

^^ This can be achieved. I know the new shelby mustang in one trim level had HID's without a projector. I have seen it done and may try to toss a link on here of how it has been preformed on other vehicles.
Projectors to stay away from? as far as cut off and light throw Mach's will be number 1 of course. A Factory set up will ALWAYS be better than aftermarket. Alot of ebay projectors can be used and offer a decent cut off but most who are big into hid's aren't happy with the throw and cut-off.
A retrofitted shield is possible though ill do some checking though.
Also wasn't bickering just tossing back and forth ideas. Like i said out of ALL the HID setups i have seen and then seen pics of the cut-offs i would safely say i have one of the best. I am entitled to say this.
