thanks JNC.. I'll put up pictures of my lights tonight, drove 2 hours last night on the highway and all i can say is they are amazing, its like my highbeams are on. best money and time i've spent on my car so far. I would say its twice as much lighting as my old setup with PNP 6000k

direct cutoff, should the step be closer together to each other?

How close depends on how far you're parked. If the projectors are angled in a bit inward, you can get the steps to be X amount of inches apart. But pull your car back and eventually they'll intersect. You need a reference point. Start by looking at how far the steps should be spaced out when you're at X distance away from the car.
