Here is some pics of the LC (quite dirty)and My friends M3(quite Clean)
Yes i got some hid projector headlights off of ebay and i have to say the light output is good but the cutoff line is terrible. It is not uniform but i love the lenses though. I see a retrofit in the near future. I like the look of my friend's bimmer but im not a fan of the v8 engine. I love the straight 6 in the older generation. But the car is very sexy looking.

Could the brush guard be inhibiting your cutoff at all? Either way, you can't go wrong with a full retro.

That M3 is sick. I always wanted one, but I've only driven the older models.

I havent thought of that. I will see tonight because the right side is giving me problems and i think because some light may be reflecting off the brushguard and being blocked. Thanks.

Nice new headlights man.
A real retrofit would be good. I think also agree about the brush guard blockin' some of the light.
The BMW looks good too.

I solved my cut off problem. It was the brushguard and a combination of needed adjustments. I got the lights aimed correctly and the brushguard is just something i can't let go of so i put it back on and it was better than before so i can live with it. Now i'm in the process of going to 50 watt 6000k hids. Oh yea I replaced that blown light bulb.
