Default Xenon Cutoff Mod for 3GenGS

I did some searching and couldn't find any clear answers. Is there anyway to do a simple projector shield mod or something to improve the cutoff line of the factory Xenon headlights?

That would involve moving the shield forward or backward, it might be easier to just change out the whole projector. Then again it might not because of the adaptive headlights.

Is there really a point to making a "sharp" cutoff line? HID freaks are so nutty about this stuff, but I see it as pointless. Same thing goes for the "color" it puts out when people drive towards them. HID Rice. lol
