I was actually very suprised at how good the cutoff was, for being a non-projector housing! I did adjust the lights down just a hair (half a turn counter clockwise), just because i "thought" they might be a little high.

I do a lot of commuting, hence the purchase of this car, and at night and early morning, it is just unreal how much of the road is lit up!

You need to keep in mind, our headlights are designed to focus the light off the deflector, towards the inner side of the headlight housing.. NOT from directly in the center. My Yaris shop manual describes this all with a picture, showing how its designed, and how it all works. Maybe thats why the cut off stays so good, compared to other non-HID headlight housing retro fits.

BTW - they are actually 6500k's I am testing, but they look more like 6000ks, with just a hint of purple at warmup.
My parking lights are also LED's, being tested for the same company. Brighter then ANYTHING else we have seen on the market!
