are you sure your not talking about the relay harnesses that come with it?

yeah. the relay harness connects from the battery to the closest ballast, correct. then i got only the driver side connected to that wiring for the remote wire,correct. i mean everything works and ive gone through DIY of the kit and dont remember seeing these cables. i dont know, but damn these things are so great. ive been pumped all day just waiting for night to come so i can make it like day light again in front of my car.

daylight? You'll be extremely disappointed but anyways, if this is the first time you've gotten hid's then this will be night and day.

the problem with the bad cutoff line is the fact that the cutoff shield on the inside of the projector is f'ed up. you need to replace that with a better shield, but still the light output wouldnt be as good as say a tsx projector because the anzo projector bowl is designed for halogen bulbs not hid bulbs like tsx/s2000 projectors. so to answer your question, no you cant just fix the cutoff with replacing just the lens.

My 05 with 08-09 Projectors. Cut off is good, it is so much better than the old housing with HID's. Mind you the cut off is pointing a bit high in the picture I already adjusted it.

yes but you have to do some modifications to the tsx projector to fit and for you housing to hold the projector

Ok, this is the cutoff shield of the Anzo projectors. I was just playing with a cut up sticky note to level of the shield the way it should be. I think it looks a lot better. Opinions? Just wondering thoughts on if I should do a more perminent piece of metal addon to the shield.
