The difference in projectors also account for how bright the overall light output is, as well as hotspots and how wide/far they shoot. S2k has the widest output if I'm not mistaken (someone correct me if I'm wrong). It shoots out super wide but not as far as some of the other projectors, iirc it covers like 6 lanes of traffic or something lol. I'd love to have those projectors.

If you want to change how sharp the cutoff is I highly suggest changing the lens Easy few screws to swap them on/off if you have the headlight apart, and makes a world of a difference. These STI-R clear project lenses were ~$60 iirc, and it sharpened my cut off a loooot. Top being stock, bottom being after the lens swap. Same bulbs and ballasts and evertyhing on the projectors from my 370z. Bulbs apparently make a slight difference in cutoff too
