For reference, here's a pic of the Raxiom's cut-off (not my photo; johngt10). Mine looked identical to this:



Personally, I don't/didn't think this was acceptable considering the $ I spent on them. Just something to think about if anyone is on the fence about Raxioms vs. Retrofit.

The very first pic is the lights before they were opened. The plastic amber reflectors are still on.

Kris removed them (looks cleaner), and now I have Silvania iridescent coated bulbs that lightup yellow.
