I can't get to the pics from here.... can't really assess.
maybe this is part of it? "The fogs put NO light above the projector cutoff on the lows." --- at what distance? fogs could be aimed high but at 10' still be below the low beam cutoff.... but at 60 be above it. may want to check that.
Some people can't be convinced. Even when they do get flashed, as evidenced in this thread. I quit flashing folks. It doesn't matter anyway, because they clearly don't get the picture. I just wince as they pass, think to myself, "man that looks terrible", and continue on with life.
You are very correct about the photos. You can't assess a good beam pattern with pictures. A cutoff can look nice or poor, but a beam pattern is so much more than a photo against a wall.
But still again, it doesn't matter what is said. People will swear by their HID kits and that's fine. I no longer waste my energy flashing my high beams at them, but I will always point those who are interested in learning about it to appropriate resources (like the Candlepower forums, etc).
