And the cut off isnt THAT bad if you aim the lights down a little.

There is no doubt that you can see a lot better but the problem is the other drivers in oncoming traffic won't be able to see because of the stray glare.

You are right there is no point in dropping a grand in lights that why i offer hid retros for hundreds less yeah i am not a big name but why waste money on basically the same product?

I just checked the miata forum a guy has a group buy price of 325! He uses cheaper hid kits to get the super low price and retros the stock housings but the projectors are legit.

I can offer fc retros cheaper than the fd retros as the housings are cheaper but there isn't much interest in them.
