Headlight projectors?

FX35's are hard to color mod and maintain a sharp cutoff. I've been playing with the lens spacing in mine to get the sharpest cutoff possible and still achieve some color. So far, I've had to swap out the lenses for XLR lenses to do so.

BTW, Webb26 those s2k's look really nice. I would have loved to use those in my setup but I had to go bi-xenon.

If I had overexposed the shots like everyone else...it would have look better ...i like the fx though. In all honesty if i wanted to go back and do my retro i would probably not do the color mod.

I've been hearing that a lot lately. Makes me wonder if messing with a color mod is even worth it. The FX is so sharp and wide in it's stock form that it's a shame to mess with the cutoff. I'm sure the yellow cutoff would grow on me after a while, especially since I have yellow fogs.

you know
i have a color mod and i still think my cutoff is quite sharp as it is
I can definately see the cutoff clearly even on the freeway

Color modding the shield on FX's doesn't produce awful results, but it is noticeable. Here are some pics (from Izn Trbl's post on retrofitsource.com) that show the difference:

Basically, you trade a bit of clarity for color. It's all a matter of personal preference IMO. Color is purely an aesthetic entity, while sharpness of the cutoff is somewhat functional, but not entirely necessary for the typical driver.
