Sure thing, I was going to do a comparison shot with one side HID and one side with halogen bulb as well, I am going to sharpen the cutoff a bit if I can but I will take a few pics for you from how the "out of the box" cutoff looks.

Ricky, if you get lazy, or forget some kind of shot for the comparo, I'll have the camera handy for my install no doubt!

I too, am going for minimal color and thus a razor sharp cutoff with these fogs!

...think "fricken laserbeams"!!! Lol

Well yes S I look forward to your pics too! And don't get it twisted I don't want a colorband that compromises cutoff whatsoever! I think in my pm I may have alluded to that.

To me razor sharp cutoff is much more important than color at the cutoff!!

Read y'all loud and clear! My beams comment was comment was regarding the sharpness/crispness not presence of color.

That being said, depending on the lens (I done know of it's clear or fresnel) you may only be able to minimize the color, but not eliminate it completely.

I think it's clear S! I have to double check it later on though but it already has some color at the cutoff

Clockwork, have you tweaked yours at all lately? My HID's should be in from TRS in the next few days, was wondering if you made any progress adjusting the cutoff at all.

As well, I noticed my right side fog is higher than my left, I assume the adjustment screw will bring the projector down some so I can make them both flat.

TRS stuff should be here today! It's out to the garage I go later S!

You ordered your fog housings from ECS or ebay? Or do you mean you haven't got the TRS stuff yet?
