    Exactly. That jagged notched middle in the beam cutoff is a real annoyance when driving down the road. The rest of the area being lit up is decent enough, although not great, but I'm having a hard time getting used to that middle part. The housing itself seems to be good quality and I'm overall pleased with them, but long-term is still up in the air due to this issue.

    It annoyed the hell out of me at first, after a month or 2, you won't notice. My other suggestion which helped is to upgrade your fogs to the Diode Dynamics Elite Fog, they are really bright...aim a little up to match the beam pattern of your headlights and it will really help wash out the cutoff lights....it smooths out the light in the beam pattern
    See my post here.

    Just installed mine today. I had an arb single compressor on a slee mount in my engine bay, and had to remove it because the passenger side light wouldn’t fit with the compressor mounted. Anyone run into this issue? Or have an idea for a solution?

    Wish they made them for gen 2.0

    Very few options that look decent.
