We all know jewels look great from the pictures and only hear about the performance anybody have pictures on the cut off that they provide? even the cut off of e-code lenses?

there is no real 'cutoff' the same way that projectors give you 'cutoff'.

i'll take your word for it, i've just noticed in some cares with clear lenses ive rode in have a very distinct cut off, not quite like projectors, but close just thought the jewel housing/lenses might have done that for us

My friends EVO VIII had a sharp cutoff, but it really didn't affect the lighting as it was very good to begin with....
