Completely agree with Mygt500, I run the same kit in my 06, 55watt 6K. No issues what so ever with glare and the cutoff line is straight. I have never once had an on coming driver ever flash me.

Hrmmm... This has me very curious as I've never seen a retrofit kit that worked properly with the stock housings. Can you guys post some pics of the lights against a building wall or something if it's not too much to ask. I just want to see the pattern for myself.

Unless you're a photometry lab, you can't properly assess headlamp output and pattern.

What? No one told me I could grow up to be a lab when I was a kid. Wish I knew back then.

If you think I can't tell the difference between a sharp cutoff and even spread of light vs a spread pattern and hot spots from a picture you are sorely mistaken. I'm not analyzing the spectral distribution at the nm level ya noob.

it was $500 factory option when they started offering it. I have an 08 with them from the factory.

I have no idea how much the parts (kit) for the OEM version would cost aftermarket...
