Default ?? about hid bulbs

can the bulb make a differnce in the cut off on my low beams, like to the sides....its not really as sharp as I would like, itjust kinda fades...see other cars that looks like they have a sharp cut off..or is it the stock projector????....would a clear lense swap help?

Did the original bulbs have the sharp cutoff?

I dont see the bulbs making a difference unless the going up in K rating does it?
